There's an election every year in Virginia, and this year Fairfax County Board Chairman Gerry "Hit and Run" Connolly comes up for re-election. Connolly is best known for two accomplishments. First, the Fairfax Democrat has raised taxes every year he's been in office. Property taxes have doubled, and we still can't get the roads repaired.
Perhaps Connolly's greatest was his ability to get out of "Hit and Run" charges using his executive priviledge.
[Judge Craig] Johnston, in issuing his not guilty ruling, said Connolly's "position and his duties have caused him to be oblivious to what is going on in his car."So here we have a guy who isn't even qualified to drive a car, and he's probably going to be re-elected to run the largest county in Virginia.
Prime example of "Just-Us System" if I ever saw one.
I guess, when the time comes, we can just give the judges the "judicial privilege" to hang higher than the rest.
