<DIV>What bothers me about this is that if it were a teacher, nurse, or
police officer they would have been forced to resign their position. And
this idiot is still a Senator. He is reckless and irresponsible regardless
of what Idaho code number you put under it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Senators are suppose to be model citizens not drunkards that take
property and drive intoxicated on public streets. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If our legislators cannot make good personal decisions for
themselves, they have no business making them for the rest of us. </DIV>

<BR>>>>> McGee pleads guilty to DUI in deal with
prosecutor<BR>>>>> <BR>>>>> BOISE, Idaho (AP) -
Republican state Sen. John McGee has pleaded guilty
to<BR>>>>> driving under the influence of alcohol in a plea
agreement reached with<BR>>>>>
prosecutors.<BR>>>>> <BR>>>>> The 38-year-old
Caldwell Republican reached an agreement Friday, less
than<BR>>>>> two weeks after he was arrested in a Boise
neighborhood.<BR>>>>> <BR>>>>> Under terms of
the deal, a special prosecutor agreed to dismiss one
count<BR>>>>> of taking a vehicle without the owner's
consent, a felony.<BR>>>>> <BR>>>>> The judge
approved the terms and sentenced McGee to 180 days in jail,
with<BR>>>>> 175 suspended. McGee was also fined $1,000,
ordered to perform 24 hours of<BR>>>>> community service and
take alcohol classes.<BR>>>>> <BR>>>>> McGee was
arrested June 19 after police say he took a truck and
cargo<BR>>>>> trailer from the southwest Boise home of a
stranger and got it stuck in a<BR>>>>> yard just down the
street.<BR>>>>> <BR>>>>>
---------------------------------------------------------<BR>>>>>
<BR>>>>> So . . .<BR>>>>> <BR>>>>>
State Sen. John McGee (R-Caldwell), through the kind generosity of
the<BR>>>>> Idaho legal system, escapes a felony conviction
for auto theft by agreeing<BR>>>>> to 24 hours of community
service in addition to sentencing for DUI.<BR>>>>>
<BR>>>>> JEEESH!<BR>>>>> <BR>>>>> In
the words of our state motto . . .<BR>>>>>
<BR>>>>> Esto perpetua, Idaho.<BR>>>>>
