Could a Montgomery County Commissioner Be Trying to Use Influence to Get out of DUI Charge?

Well, if it smells like a duck and walks like a duck:
Two days after Montgomery County Commissioner Debbie Lieberman's Saturday arrest for drunken driving, her husband placed a call at home to the judge scheduled to hear the case — a family friend and political ally who uses him to fill in on the bench in her court.

Attorney Dennis Lieberman and Vandalia Municipal Court Judge Cynthia Heck said the call was not an effort to get favorable treatment for the commissioner, who was eligible for a diversion program that will keep her out of jail and let her retain her driver's license.


Democrats--the real culture of corruption.
