The Los Angeles Times reports on a rejection of a pharmacy labeling rule in California. The pharmacy board was set to vote for new labeling rules for prescriptions until Governor Schwarzenegger appointed a CVS executive to the board the day before the vote but left three other spots vacant. The rule was defeated in a 5-4 vote.
Not only did CVS oppose the vote but so did one of Governor Schwarzenegger's largest campaign contributors- the California Retailers Association. The Association has contributed over $400,000 to his political committees.
