LOL! She is multi-tasking and will not be prosecuted under Savage's idiotic nanny law. Padding a thin resume for Assembly? People will remember the Downtown library fiasco, the SCCC Music Department fiasco, and the fact that she supported raising our County property taxes in a recession by 10% when every other County cut taxes. Nominate her please Krats so that Golden Boy Jeff Blatnick can crush her.  Olympic hero versus a tax and spend zero.

SCHENECTADY COUNTY
Texting while driving to bring fi ne
Violation of new ban will cost $150 starting Sunday
BY EDWARD MUNGER JR. Gazette Reporter

    Those tiny buttons on cellphones are hard to see while you’re driving.
    And since the number pads often contain several letters, it can take multiple clicks to get the right letter before moving onto the next when you’re sending a text message.
    Indeed, one of the toughest parts about sending a text message while driving is having to look back up through the windshield to make sure the car is still on the road.
    Starting on Sunday, law enforcers in Schenectady County will make it easier for motorists to resist sending a text message while driving. Getting caught doing so will produce a $150 ticket.
    Schenectady’s law is one of numerous laws municipalities nationwide are implementing or reviewing with the goal of making the roadways safer.
    “If anything, we wanted to at least bring awareness to the dangers of it,” said Joe McQueen, director of communications for Schenectady County.
    “It’s not that [police are] going to be out there looking for every driver to see what they’re doing; the belief is people will gradually start to realize the dangers. We have to change as technology changes,” McQueen said.
    The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors considered a countywide ban last week but voted it down.
    Amsterdam town Supervisor Thomas DiMezza said discussion on the ban focused on who would be responsible for enforcement. Some believe the county attorney has to prosecute county-based local laws, DiMezza said.
    DiMezza said that in his opinion, legislators should pass a law statewide.
    “Put it in the vehicle and traffi c law and everybody can enforce it,” DiMezza said.
    According to a press release from the Schenectady County Legislature, several other counties have already passed such bans, including Westchester, Suffok and Nassau.
    In Albany County, a similar law will be the subject of a March 24 public hearing, and final action by the county Legislature is expected on April 13.
    Several bills aimed at banning text messaging while driving are also being reviewed by the state Legislature.
    One bill under review in both the state Senate and Assembly would modify the current statewide law against talking on a cellphone without a hands-free device in a vehicle to include a prohibition on texting.
    It would also add an educational requirement to the law calling for cellphone safety to be part of the pre-licensing requirements.
    The bill asks that the Department of Motor Vehicles develop a curriculum for pre-licensing to....................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....amp;EntityId=Ar01101

What more can be said about the idiocy of all of these laws. I mean really, lets encapsulate the kiddies in moon suits and let them live in a germ free plastic bubble too, the American way, right? Take no risk ever, whatsoever for any reason, ever again. Maybe that is a great way to be. But then again maybe the bunch of you that want that put to shame the memories of your ancestors for taking that great big risk of coming to America instead of crawling through the filth of their European and Irish hovels and slums, waiting for crumbs from their sovereign rulers.

I love this country but hate to think of what this great land of risk takers has become. Filled with mamby pamby socialists all scheming how to better give up their hard won freedoms as fast as they can so that the great big brother nanny can watch over us all as children. If today's current crop of Americans landed at Jamestown or Plymouth Rock, the whole kit and kaboodle would turn straight around at the thought that there wasn't police, remote cameras, gun control, sidewalks, ambulance chasers, labor unions, OSHA, handicapped parking, nonslip surfaces, child proof pill bottles and laws like this. But they never would of gotten onto those wooden ships to begin with out of abject terror, so the people who lived here would still be Native Americans, who at least had liberty and guts. More than I can say for us today.    

Well said Graham.

Very well said!

it is insane to be against any and every thing that could save the lives over here. Over there in the old country things were dangerous too and our people left to come to safer and better places here and when things were dangerous like the way the hillbillies here lived with the guns and that there then the old timers would rightfuly go on back to th e old country where there was the security they knew would protect them the carbineri who watched out for us. I read the crazy thing you said about the guns and it scares me to think you repubs have the guns since the goverenment cant control you the way it needs to now because they let it get out of hand with all these crazy guns everywhere. WHO WILL PROTECT US NOW THAT ALL YOU RED KNECKS HAVE THE GUNS? WHO?

Sal it's time to get up off your butt and protect yourself.

KETTERING — A Harrison Twp. woman faces child endangering charges after police said she admitted to breastfeeding her child and talking on a cell phone while driving, according to Kettering Police Officer Michael Burke.

The incident happened about 7:45 a.m. Thursday, Feb., 26, near the intersection of Far Hills Avenue and Dorothy Lane, Burke said.

A male motorist called the police department's non-emergency number to report that he had seen the woman breastfeeding and talking on a cell phone while driving, Burke said. The man reported that he also witnessed the woman driving a Honda minivan into the parking lot of a local school and saw some children get out of the van. The man then got the van's license plate number and called police.

Oh please, don't let suzie hear about this. Then there will be a DWBF law!!!

Oh please, don't let suzie hear about this. Then there will be a DWBF law!!!

Please BT don't give her any more idiotic ideas. Just what the hard working law enforcement people need more unenforceable ninny-nanny laws by "Assemblywoman" Sue "THE" Savage. How anyone could support  her for dog catcher is beyond me. Sal and other cheer leaders need to talk to her neighbors-you will get an earful. Let her run against Golden Boy Jeff Blatnick-she won't even carry Niskayuna. Olympic hero vs. tax and spend zero. Fund raiser? lol! She is laughing all the way to the bank at you County sheeple.

Did anyone see suzie on the local new tonight boasting about the new DWT law? It was comical at best! She said that she sees people driving while texting and using their elbow to steer the car.  

So she is confident that law enforcement will see them too and they will get slapped with a $150 fine. Like our law enforcement don't have enough to do in the city already.
