California State Senator Carole Migden was just fined $350,000.00 for her numerous violations of the Political Reform Act. You may remember Senator Migden as the “crazy driver” on Interstate 80 who was driving erratically and crashed into another car and didn’t take the time to assess the other party. Multiple calls to CHP via cellular telephones reported Migden as driving all over the place, including scraping the guardrail on at least two occasions. Did the tax payers have to pay to repair Migden’s state vehicle? Should we request the records to find out? There was a large question of whether Migden was on her cellphone at the time and I proposed using the Legislative Records Act to obtain the call history and usage times.
