Description
Terence Hallinan —’America’s Most Progressive District Attorney’
By Fred Gardner
Terence “Kayo” Hallinan, the San Francisco District Attorney whose support was crucial to the medical marijuana movement, hired me to be his press secretary when he won a second term in 1999. After Kayo died in February, 2020, I began this long, disjointed memoir in weekly installments for the Anderson Valley Advertiser. The more marijuana-related pieces are boldfaced in the table of contents. —Fred Gardner
