Monterey Newspaper Chides California Stem Cell Agency

By Dr. Matthew Watson

The California stem cell agency and its
former chairman, Robert Klein, came under sharp criticism this week
in an editorial in the Monterey County Herald newspaper.
The editorial cited articles on the
California Stem Cell Report dealing with a $21,630 gift by Klein to
the agency, his employment of the vice chairman of the agency and the
violation of the agency's conflict of interest policies by a grant reviewer.
The editorial was headlined "State Stem Cell Agency Still Up to Old Tricks." The piece said,

“Robert Klein is no longer chairman
of California's stem cell bureaucracy, but it is still doing things
his way. Which is too bad for all concerned.

“Klein is the former developer and
financier who wrote and sponsored the ballot measure that created the
California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The ballot language
practically guaranteed he would be the chairman, and he ran the
agency the way he ran his businesses, using undisclosed side deals
and other machinations to create webs that outsiders could never
penetrate.

“Now, Klein has been replaced as
chairman, but he is still up to his old tricks.”

The editorial concluded,

“Much has been said about the agency
setting a new more straightforward direction now that Klein is gone,
but so far it seems to be following a twisting and expensive path
toward irrelevance and litigation.”
