Can't afford to pay your fines/tickets? Set up a public service program that requires them to do X amount of hours of community service at their local school, church, clean up the neighborhood, etc.
When I was in high school, there was driver's ed, in school, for free.

Speeding a factor.
Excuse was he didn’t have a license because he was low income.
Someone may have used this excuse, but whoever it was, it wasn't the councilmember being attacked in the OP.

Those that cannot afford a license cannot afford auto insurance. Everyone's rates go up from uninsured motorist accidents.
People that cannot afford a license and cannot afford auto insurance should be taking the bus or biking to work.
Correct. So MoCo. Should run more buses, build more bike lanes, and build more high density housing.

Nobody said that it's ok to drive without a license. Merely that higher fines will not deter people from doing so.
So put them in prison where slavery is legal and we can sell their labor to pay for car insurance subsidies for wealthy drivers.

What she actually said: many people drive without a license due to limited resources [this is a fact] and so higher fines would not deter them from doing so [a reasonable conclusion].
I remember all the way back to 2022 when Esther Wells was running for school board as just a concerned mom and accountant.

Wonderful excuse for increasing danger for pedestrians.
Everything is oppression/racism/sexism. It can't possibly be due to peoples' poor choices to break the law. No one is ever personally responsible, some -ism is always to blame. Mink is absolutely nutso.

I will agree with one of the comments on that Twitter thread. KM is a danger to Montgomery county. I really hope she is not reelected.
I would like to listen to this in its full context. Do you happen to have a link, so I can listen to that session. I would like to listen a few minutes before, and after to get a greater understanding of what they’re discussing.

She's out of her mind and anyone can see it. Hope she has a strong challenger when she's up for re-election.
