You'll recall that in May 2007, former State Senator, current Waste Board Member and rumored SF District 10 Supervisor candidate Carole Migden played demolition derby on a long stretch of I-80 that prompted the panicked people on the road that day to call 911<\/a> begging them to lock her up (my favorite quote being “An older white woman, really pale old lady …  just oblivious on her cel phone …. hit the guard rail twice … just crazy.”)  Migden's rampage was halted when she smashed her car into the back of another car, injuring a Vallejo woman. <\/p>\n

Well, SFist<\/a> and SF Weekly<\/a> report that the State has now settled the claim brought by the injured Vallejo woman for $335,000.  (I wonder if she gets real money or an IOU?) <\/p>\n

While Migden's recklessness puts the state another $335k in the hole, keep in mind that that's almost exactly the amount ($350k) that Migden was fined<\/a> last year by the Fair Political Practices Commission for her 89 violations of California's campaign finance laws.  So, you know, her reckless driving and reckless bookeeping are pretty much a wash for the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
