I'm well aware that drunk drivers fall under state law and they have different sentencing guidelines. I was merely pointing out that this is not really a light sentence as you claim. And it really just wanted to get down. Voted a lot because that seems to be the norm for the Springfield subscribers.

Which means absolutely nothing. Unless you think that a center-right president who would have fit right in with the republican party of Eisenhower somehow appoints only Judges who do not give out light sentences to white collar criminals who fit the specific pattern as shown here unless they really really super deserve to get of lightly?

What conclusions are people getting wrong? That the vice president of the school board didn't show appropriate temperament given the circumstances? That, as Vice President she should be an example to the children of this district on how to behave appropriately?

Edit: and before you comment that I haven't read the story... this news is 4 days old and I've previously commented and criticized the Newsleader's headline as click bait.

Bulldoze the whole area and rebuild it to modern road standards? Or better yet put in decent mass transportation.

Frankly the whole area should be closed off to road traffic and serviced by shuttle busses. At the very least restrict vehicle size so that large trucks with towing hitches are not sticking out into the street when they park blocking traffic. I hate driving down there and avoid it like the plague.

Drunk Drivers fall under state law which has different sentencing guidelines, this was a federal case. Her guidelines as a first time offender was a minimum of 87 months to 105 max for the crimes she is guilty of. For fraud cases a large part of the guidelines comes from the amount stolen. The more you steal the longer time you are supposed to do.
