Is it okay for your legislators to get drunk and not call Urber, a taxi, or a friend to drive them home? It is in my state (CA). Or so it seems. Our lawmakers have provided themselves with 24-hour-a-day drivers, on stand-by and getting paid (yes, by us taxpayers) to pick them up if they’ve been drinking. This way, they argue, they won’t get a DUI.
Well, duh! Do what your constituents do: call that taxi or Urber or friend.
Better still, be grown-ups and don’t put yourselves in that position. Remember this: we elected you on the idea that you would make reasoned, sober, adult decisions, and you will be up for re-election sometime soon…
