Sustainable Sea Food with Ted Lieu -- Really?

Before arriving at Kovacs-Frey Pharmacy in Redondo Beach, State Senator Ted Lieu was dining on sea food at an event promoting environmentalism in sea food consumption:

Lieu shared with me that he voted against the legislation when I spoke with him at a Humane Animals convention in Studio City last year. The article reporting on his vote informed us that Lieu voted against the bill because of his concerns that Chinese ethnic cuisine would suffer.

While it is commendable that Lieu voted against that one bill, it still became law. He also supported legislation which has protected puppies, bears, and abandoned ships.

But nothing on school choice.

Nothing on easing the tax burden in the state of California.

Nothing which will make life easier for the two-legged creatures, the human beings, in our state.

Senator Lieu wants to investigate means of production and distribution of sustainable sea food.

What about promoting a state economic and political environment which sustains freedom and prosperity for all Californians?
