ND STATE SENATOR SUPPORTS BRIAN GALE, DPM
North Dakota State Senator John M. Andrist has taken a stand
in support of Brain Gale, DPM's defense. He has granted us
permission to reprint his message, emailed to the Governor,
expressing his concern with the Professional Board situation in
North Dakota.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"...I have been at war for years with our licensing system"
"I've tried a number of bill approaches, soundly defeated, in past
sessions, but had decided to just give up until the flap with
Dr. Gale arose"
"...the system is a smoking gun waiting to be abused."
"There is something fundamentally wrong when a small board
of practicing professionals is empowered to decide who should
or should not be allowed to go into competition with them."
~~~~~~~~~~~
What Brian Gale, DPM needs now is for the other podiatrists on
the board to show their respect for his case, by stepping down,
and letting some of the other competent podiatrists in the state
take their turn and serve a term on the board. A diversity of
input, free from the dominating influence of Aaron Olson, DPM,
would go a long way toward the goal of this board regaining
credibility and effectiveness for their business at hand.
