Carmel Follies

[Liberty Sanders]

According to this morning's Indy bird cage liner, the illustrious spendthrift mayor of the People's Republic of Carmel, while driving a city vehicle, drove left of center and had a head-on with a taxpaying motorist.

Not only was His Mayorship not cited, it seems that city employees driving city vehicles involved in accidents are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing...UNLESS they are elected officials.

And here I thought diplomatic immunity was only for foreign politicos.

LOL

Dang - I hadn't heard anything about it!

Of course, according to this article, that Mayor was fatigued... I'm sure from working so hard for the city.

And yep - filed in Carmel City Court.

Wish I could say I was shocked. But Im not.

Maybe with enough complaining we can get the former issue resolved? (the latter is a moot point this far past the event)

Semi-related note:

State employees are also not obligated to be tested (at any point unless they're CDL-holders) if in MVA...unless said MVA meets the state requirements for it (which I think means only if severe injuries and/or deaths occur?)

What might be more interesting is where he was going....

Wait....the City of Carmel leases a Ford Fusion? The choice of hair stylists everywhere? This was a pricey one, but still.

The Jags were always in the shop.

If they want to keep it domestic, I hear that the new Lincoln Continental Black Label is very nice and may be more in keeping with Carmel's image.

Well duh, the laws don't apply to our .gov overlords.

I give him a pass for improving the traffic log jam that existed at 116th & Keystone.

No citation for drifting over the center line? Must be nice to hold a position of power.

 

[Hoosierkav]

Was he exiting a roundabout?

He'll likely propose an ordinance requiring vehicles to signal before being hit by him.
