FAIRFIELD - State Sen. Carole Migden pleaded no contest this morning to a misdemeanor reckless driving charge.
Migden, who didn't appear in the Solano County courtroom of Commissioner Barbara James, entered the plea through her attorney Ann Moorman.
Migden received a punishment of a day in jail which she will be able to do by being booked and released at the jail's receiving area.
Migden was also ordered to pay $710 in fines and was placed on two years of informal probation.
Earlier this week Migden's lawyers met with Solano County Chief Deputy District Attorney Kathy Coffer in part to negotiate a resolution to the matter which had been pending through much of the summer. Coffer appeared in court to handle the case.
In June California Highway Patrol investigators determined Migden was at fault in two separate May 18 crashes in her 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. After the incidents became public, Migden revealed she was diagnosed with leukemia in 1997 and said medication she still takes daily may have been to blame.
In the first accident, Migden struck the median on eastbound Interstate 80 near Redwood Parkway in Vallejo, the CHP said. Minutes later, her car rear-ended a 2005 Honda sedan that was slowing to a stop at a red light at the intersection of Beck Avenue and Highway 12 in Fairfield.

“But you don’t understand! I’m a senator! I’m a senator! I’m a senator! I’m a senator....”

Right next to Lesbanon.
The Lesbanese are a nicer lookin’ group than the Lesbonians.
Senator Migden,
Im so sorry to hear about you terrible court experience today. It must have been horrible to have to send your attorneys down to that hick Court House in horrible Solano County where they (heaven forbid) may have said bad things about you.
Its not fair that this happened to you. Who do those little people think they are!? Anyway, you have my sympathy as one of your loyal tax slaves, I mean subjects. Those stinking laws-they shouldnt apply to the better people you know!
Perhaps we can start a petition to enact new laws preventing this slight to your uh hum good character. You should be exempt from the horrors of having to face a terrible demeaning situation like this! Its just not right you know.
I can only image the trauma and horror as you had to speak to one of those little people Police Officers. I can only shudder to think as you were inconvenienced waiting for transport to your next important meeting at Lesbians of San Francisco or the National Organization of Morally Superior Women.
Anyway as one of your loyal tax slaves, I want to commend you for patience in his awful matter. Who did those cars, people and nuisance obstacles in you path think they were? You are THE queen! Royalty has no time for the little people.
Anyway, we have started a support group for you on-line at LibertyPost and FreeRepublic. Your subjects/tax slaves are weighing in to support you there!
I have taken the liberty of publicly posting your royal Highnesss official email address so my fellow subjects/tax slaves may take the liberty of voicing their overwhelming support for you and the horrible trauma youve been through!
Sincerely, Your loyal subject and tax slave!
Gee, I wonder if Hillary will be able to get away with this trick on Sept 7? Of course there's no way in hell that The Hildabeaste will be pleading guilty.
What is it with Democrats and breaking the law? YET ANOTHER ONE!
She must have taken driving lessons from Al Gore’s kid.
It’s also called “San Francisco.”
David Kendall will be appearing to argue for Hillary. This is a civil matter. The three-judge panel of the Californian Appellate Court will determine whether she is brought back into the case as a defendant. In any case, she will be testifying under oath. Superior Court judge Aurelio Munoz made that clear to Kendall.
At least this DemocRAT didn’t drive off a bridge and leave someone to die.
Is it just my overactive imagination, or are an inordinate percentage of female elected officeholders members of the lesbian contingent??
She must've told the court that she was trying to run down a Fascist Republican and missed.
Someone WAS injured when Senator Migden rammed another vehicle.
Solano County courts are a corrupt sewer. I had to argue a small claims case last month and the first thing out of the judge pro tems mouth was “I’m not going to look at the evidence”!!! It went downhill from there as he kept putting his foot in his mouth. The co-defendant was from India and the judge was of “swarthy” complexion with one of those middle eastern names. The Indian landlord and his tenant were in court to answer civil charges of operating a nuisance property / gangbanger party house. There were 30 police reports, restraining orders, neighbor’s statements, warning cards, photographs, video tapes, you name it. The 2 tenants are the son and daughter of a police officer!!!
I wonder if I can call for an ethics review or investigation into possible case fixing / bribery? Don’t ever use a judge pro tem (part time judge) who is a civil case attorney.
Our legal system is a corrupt sewer. I spit on them.

Migden, 58, caused a three-car accident on Highway 12 near Fairfield May 18. At first she claimed she was distracted by her cell phone, but later revealed she has battled leukemia for 10 years and said a negative reaction to the medicine she takes could have caused her to lose control of her vehicle.
The California Highway Patrol recommended the lesbian lawmaker be charged with reckless driving.

Migden authored legislation to create California's landmark domestic partner registry
Over the last seven years Migden has authored a serious body of legislation for domestic partnership in California providing far-reaching benefits to the LGBT community and unmarried senior citizens.
Staunchly opposed of the war in Iraq Migden became one of the first outspoken critics of the war and passed a senate resolution making California the first state in the nation to formally oppose the surge of troops in Iraq.
A native of New York City, Migden was born August 14, 1948.
In February 2004, she married Cristina Arguedas, a criminal defense attorney and her partner since 1985, in a ceremony at San Francisco City Hall officiated by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.[2] That marriage was later annulled by the California Supreme Court
In 1999, Migden, a lesbian, received the National Center for Lesbian Rights' "Lesbian Leadership Award".
"The senator rear-ended a 2005 Honda sedan, which was slowing to a stop behind a van that had already stopped at a red signal light at the intersection of Beck Avenue and Highway 12, said CHP spokesman Marvin Williford. Migden told CHP officers that she had gotten lost while driving to Marin County for a noon meeting when the accident occurred. Migden's office released a statement saying that her cell phone rang and in reaching for the phone, she took her eyes off the road."
California Senator Carole Migden has revealed that she is suffering from leukemia and that medication prescribed to her may have contributed to a car accident she caused on May 18. Earlier Migden said that she was driving her state-leased SUV while reaching for her cell phone.
The announcement comes when witnesses called police to say that Migden was weaving along Highway 12 in Solano County, California. They also reported that she drove over the center median on several occasions and that after the accident she got out of her car and proceeded to yell, "I'm a senator!." Witnesses say that she "didn't seem all there at the time."
According to Migden, doctors diagnosed her with leukemia in 1997, but did not reveal to the public her disease because she did not want "pity" from anyone. Migden also says that back in February, she was pronounced as "disease free."
Migden says that she had an unexplained medical event and that her medication claim is not an excuse for her driving.
"I owe an explanation to the public and myself and, in particular, the person I hurt. I don't have a recollection of what happened. I can only conclude I had a medical event I can't explain. It's not an excuse; it may be an explanation," said Migden.

State Senator Carole Migden’s East Bay Deed
For many years I’ve heard the rumor about San Francisco State Senator Carole Migden not being a full-time resident of the city. People have said she really lives and spends most of her time in the East Bay, with her longtime companion Cristina Arguedas, a criminal defense attorney with an office in downtown Berkeley.
A California state senator who voted to ban cell phone usage while driving crashed her SUV late last week while reaching for a ringing cell phone, the Marin Independent Journal has reported.
Oh, the irony! Got link?
Paris Hilton got a raw deal!

Carol Migdon Is Truth Challenged
State Senator Carol Migdon is what’s wrong with politics in California. She believes that you and I should live by the ridiculous laws she creates, but she is above the law. Her bombastic arrogance is undeniable.
If it was one of us, they would have thrown the book at us.
