Scott Sanzone - First DUI, Now MIA

Scott Sanzone, the Sykesville Councilman who was found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol was sentenced to one year of probation by the Carroll County District Court. If I'm not mistaken, probation is the harshest sentence allowed for a politician - especially when he is being prosecuted by a bunch of attorneys who hope to be politicians one day. I think it's called a professional courtesy.

Anyway, the Carroll County Times is reporting that Scott Sanzone hasn't attended a Sykesville Town Council meeting for four consecutive meetings since the October 19th incident.

In the words of the Ming-Ming the duck on the Wonder Pets, "This is sewious! We need to find Scott Sanzone. I want to organize the blogsphere and we'll create a search party. We must find him so that he can report to the next meeting!

Group one - you go check the bar at Beck's in downtown Sykesville. Group two - you check that new pub called County Cork Wine Pub. Group three - you check at the bar on the second floor of the Harvest Inn.

Another Drunk Politician Wasn't Really Drunk

Following in the footsteps of fellow Montgomery County politician Kumar Barve, Maryland State Delegate Herman Taylor was acquitted for driving while intoxicated. Although he was in his idling vehicle (which means it is in operation). And he was intoxicated.

I wonder if being a politician exempts you from the law. I mean, you write the laws therefore when you get in trouble for breaking the laws you get a break, right? Do you think if Eludius was arrested for driving while impaired that he'd get off so easy? Doubt it.

It certainly helps Delegate Taylor's case that he's for strong drunk driving laws. But then again, isn't every politician who's arrested for being impaired in favor of tough drinking laws?

There's a nice word that describes Delegate Taylor - hypocrite.
