I know they are just people like everyone else when you cut right down to it, but getting DUI's while in office is a little too much of "average Joe" for me for the Mayor, even for small towns.

Next news conference I bet will be the crying
Under Illinois Law he'll already be suspended from driving automatically for refusal to blow the breathalyzer whether he's guilty or not guilty, but as a wise politician and probably a lawyer too, he knows by blowing he's providing prosecution with the evidence with which to convict him.
