"According to the BMV, Seaton held driver's licenses from both Indiana and Michigan at the same time for many years. Indiana law prohibits Indiana-licensed drivers from having a driver's license from any other state."

This was an issue in our 2010 election.

The issue isn't her DUI conviction. It's the no consequence to her official driving record in Indiana. That doesn't happen to other people convicted of DUIs. I have a relative with a commercial driver's license who complains about getting pulled over by ISP and ticketed every time he drives on I-465 for going five miles over the speed limit.

Attorneys have to fight with prosecutors all the time to assist working class people who face losing their jobs because their driver's license has been suspended.

I would like to think that besides luck that I am very prudent about drinking and driving.

This is clearly a case where the Lugar's recei...

This is clearly a case where the Lugar's received preferential treatment. This stinks to high heaven!

Very nicely done!
