Sen. Wiggins' competency in question in district
SacBee: Capitol Alert ^ | 3/1/10 | Susan Ferriss

Posted on 03/01/2010 12:40:52 PM PST by SmithL

Residents of the home district of Sen. Pat Wiggins are starting to seriously question whether the Santa Rosa Democrat should remain in office for nearly another year, her hometown paper is reporting.

Wiggins, aides have said, has an undisclosed medical condition that makes her irritable and explains some public outbursts she has had at the Capitol.

She's also displayed some confusion at events where she appeared not to recognize some people, according to witnesses quoted in a Santa Rosa Press Democrat story published Saturday.

Some interviewed imply the 69-year-old senator depends too much on aides to cast her votes, but aides say Wiggins' condition doesn't affect her ability to do her job.

Hell it sounds to me as if she should be elevated to Speaker. She sounds like she’s mentally more sound than Pelosi.

if she hangs on until like the 17th of March then the seat is left vacant until the next election. If she resigns now an appointment can be made.

This woman has dementia and most likely a drinking problem to boot. She is a farce and yet makes Nancy Pelosi look good
