Rep. Mike Krusee, chairman of the House Transportation Committee in the Texas Lege for driving while intoxicated. And, here’s the irony of being hoist by your own petard:
Krusee carried and passed legislation in 2003 that created something called the “driver responsibility program” to help fund the Texas Mobility Fund. That program included a number of surcharges for driving offenses, including $1,000 for a first conviction of driving while intoxicated.
Actually, the cost is more than that, from what I’ve read. Plus, he gets the 180-day administrative license revocation. All of that also courtesy of his own legislative skill!
Then we have the untruth of the “one glass of wine” admission after failing a field sobriety test. Throw in that Krusee was driving with expired registration, and we’ve got a doozy.
Krusee decided not to run for re-election this year. I’ll bet the Texas GOP is breathing a huge collective sigh of relief right now.
For more on Krusee’s whoring for the TTC, and just plain whoring, go here. That’s your family values GOP for you!
OTOH, Krusee argued last fall, when he decided not to run again, that he was being made the fall guy for TTC opposition. I’m sure there’s a grain of truth there.
