I hope she gets a public defender and files appeal after appeal. I'm sure the other taxpayers would applaud that in order to make sure she pays her "Fair Share".
I think if Deb really wants to have fun...just put up one big sign at the entry point of the town...with her picture and a police cruiser in the background...and have the slogan "Don't worry about the criminals...for a $1.16, its the cops you have to worry about." Everyone would be laughing it up for months and the whole city council would eventually be replaced because of the "joke". Its simple to take them to the mat and make them pay long-term. If you figure man-hours here...the cops and the city have spent easily over $250 already messing with the arrest of this woman. This gives you an idea of priorities in this town.
