I fail to see the logic other than misguided forced diversity. This is not something that should be legislated. Maybe I'm just a C. Pig.
What say you?
There's no logic either with companies that are unable to place any women at all in their boardrooms for no identifiably good reason, as is the case with 25% of publicly traded companies in CA, per your cited article. Boards are often old-boy networks who don't take kindly to women encroaching on their space. It's too bad that there has to be a law passed to ensure women get a place at the boardroom table but if that's what it takes to break through inequality, so be it. I voted for Brown and he made the correct decision here.
