If you can’t take the heat, get outta the kitchen
Sandy can’t even admit guilt after she is caught red-handed;
State Sen. Sandy Jerstad was fined $413 after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge stemming from an accident last month in the parking lot of a Pierre hotel.
A defendant who enters a plea of no contest does not admit guilt but does not fight the charge.
She seems to be blaming ‘Women Drivers’ instead of herself -tsk, tsk Sandy (were you talking on your cellphone when it happened? I see that a lot in Sioux Falls).
“I’m a big target – partly, I believe, because of my gender –
She also still is in a state of denial about how lawmakers should be held to a higher standard when it comes to following laws, laws they legislate;
“It amounted to absolutely nothing.”
“It’s absolutely been hellish,” she said of her time in the Legislature since the accident.
Sandy, may I suggest you get thicker skin or resign. I have enountered this a lot going to SF City Council meetings, some politicians seem to think they are immune to criticism when they do something wrong or make poor decisions. No wonder our country is in such a mess, no one wants to take responsibility for their actions anymore. I hope the constituents in her district raise even more HELL about it. As citizens we need to become less apathetic and more critical when dissenting our elected officials instead putting their faces on T-shirts. This is where ‘TRUE CHANGE’ comes from.
