State To Pay $335,000 For Ex-Senator's Crash | ||
2009-07-07 | ||
The state will pay $335,000 to settle a lawsuit stemming from a crash involving former state Sen. Carole Migden.
Witnesses reported Migden talking on the phone and driving wildly in her state-owned SUV before the crash. The San Francisco Democrat said she didn't remember the ride and suggested medication may have been to blame. She pleaded no contest to reckless driving. Butawan's attorney said his client was fine with the settlement. Migden lost her Senate seat last year. She is now on the state's waste management board.

#5 At least about the waste part, tu. Question: Is the state going to pay actual money, or with a worthless IOU? |

#3 The people of state voted her into office, they get what they asked for, a dope smoking, drug taking, law breaking idiot, but then our reps are supposed to be reps of the people and for San Fran she is. They get what they deserve. |

#1 The article forgot to add that "Mad Madamn Midgen" has had a few accidents over the years, smokes pot, and is rumored to like other drugs. Now knowing this the CHP neglected to give her any kind of blood or urine test AFTER the crash. She claims to be on prescription drugs but we still dont know what kind (can you guess?). Also she claimed to be on state business but we never found out what that business was at the time (on a Sunday and out of her district). But now she is ensconsed in an appointed job that meets four times a year and pays six figures. |
