It simply makes no sense to ask an individual to find employment and handicap him\/her by taking away their transportation. I have tried for the last two years to convince our delegate, Danny Marshall, R-Danville, to act in the General Assembly to revise the state law, perhaps by offering a restricted license. To me, it simply makes sense.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You know what, I could probably go for that idea myself. But if Danny Marshall doesn&#8217;t like the idea, I&#8217;d find another legislator that does like the idea and let them carry the bill.<\/p>\n<p>But nah, that&#8217;s not good enough for Carolyn Tanner. She&#8217;s got to go all racist on it&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I have come to accept the fact that our Republican Delegate has no interest in trying to help potentially thousands of young people. Why? Well, drug crime arrests are overwhelmingly African-American and he obviously does not consider us a part of his constituency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Obviously? Blow it out your racist ass, Carolyn Laviscount Tanner. I know Danny Marshall personally. He&#8217;s a kind and dedicated man who doesn&#8217;t give a fark about a person&#8217;s skin color.<\/p>\n<p>To use Carolyn Tanner&#8217;s own words against her, I have come to accept the fact that Tanner has no interest in treating Danny Marshall fairly.
