R.T goes speeding thru the wilderness. Somehow thought he’d make it thru..without paying the fine?



The Speedy Gonzales of Minneapolis, Mayor R.T. Rybak, gets a speeding ticket and didn’t pay the entire fine. His license has been revoked since February 14th. He claims that he accidentally paid the wrong amount, and was never notified that his license had been revoked. I find that a bit hard to believe, since the government is so good at that sort of thing (not). However, it does sound like the typical copout that most people give when avoiding something. Too often have we seen elected officials trying to get out from under situations by throwing their position around or taking it for granted that they won’t hear about the problem because of their position. Remember when the Mayor got into hot water for using government employees and resources for his campaign lit? He claimed that it was just a mistake as well.
He did say that he would pay the fine right away, so the Minneapolis Shadow will give him the benefit of the doubt, for now.
