She was driving 80mph. What kind of fuel efficiency was she getting, and what about the carbon footprint? And why would she get a state owned vehicle in the first place?

It would make them easier to see, and would do less damage to my gas guzzling SUV when I run them over.

I want the victim’s lawyer. $335K for “minor injuries” is a pretty good payday.

She was recently appointed to a State Board by Arnold S. and earns over 100k. She should be fired..I suggest we write to Arnold and ask him to fire her.
If you are DUI driving a state car and cost the state money..you should never again work for the state.
