ASTORIA, Ore. -- Former Vice President Al Gore was cited for speeding as he drove a rented car to visit family on the coast, authorities said.

Gore, who was alone, was issued a $141 ticket for driving 75 mph on state Route 26 in the northwest corner of the state, police said. The speed limit is 55.

Gore was issued the ticket Aug. 3 at 12:37 p.m., said Lt. Dale Rutledge, spokesman for the Oregon State Police.

The trooper who stopped Gore did not recognize him until he furnished his license, Sgt. Andrew Merila told KATU-TV.

The trooper said Gore, who carried Oregon when he ran for president in 2000, was polite throughout the encounter.....


Hmm don't Cars pollute more at High Speeds???
Earth in the ballance my foot.

 

To bad Grey Davis wasent as lucky. Unfortunatly he was escorted at 90+ mph across hwy 46 in his limo by our local law enforcement. The stertch of hwy 41 and 46 link the Valley and the coast ,and is guaranteed to produce several deaths a year from the idoits speeding and trying to pass one another. Funny, if your just your average joe they would fry you for doing these speeds, but if your a rich politician its OK.

 

I thought we had border patrol to keep rif raft like that out of our state.

 

Come on only here in Jefferson State tankeryanker... The rest of the State belongs to the Red Diaper Doper Babies
