Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi voted on hundreds of bills last September. She returned to the Capitol last week as leader of a powerful committee.
In between, her lawyer says, a benign brain tumor affected her judgment and contributed to a shoplifting arrest.
The Castro Valley Democrat declined Monday to discuss the brain tumor, when it was diagnosed, or what role it played when she walked away from a Neiman Marcus without paying for nearly $2,500 in clothing – a pair of leather pants, a black skirt and a white blouse.
Hayashi's attorney, Douglas Rappaport, said Friday that a brain tumor impaired her decision-making but that it is being treated with medication and no longer affects her.
Medical experts said Monday that it is very rare, however, for a brain tumor that does not require surgery to influence behavior so significantly.
In Hayashi's Alameda County district, not everyone is buying the explanation.

Assemblymember Mary Hayashi Supports Occupy Oakland Day of Action
As participants prepare for the Occupy Oakland Day of Action on November 2, 2011, Assemblymember Mary Hayashi (D-Hayward) stated her support for the purpose and values of the demonstration.
“I stand in full support of the peaceful protestors of Occupy Oakland and the Day of Action to achieve economic justice and jobs for the 99%,” said Assemblymember Hayashi. “In the spirit of our country’s historic and powerful nonviolent protests, the Day of Action will provide an important opportunity for Californians to voice their unity for more jobs, public education, human services, and consumer protections.”
That’s sad.
I guess that impairs her ability to govern.
She needs to step down.
Migden was then given a six-figure job on State Boards. She currently represents Agricultual Labor Relations Board.
What happened to the ‘I was distracted talking on my cell’ argument. Guess no one believed that either.

This type of brain tumor only kicks in when you set foot in a Neiman Marcus. Very rare condition.
