[SUPER=03-Roanoke Co./File Tape;]
Currently, if you are convicted of a D-U-I in Roanoke County, you could face a 100 dollar fine in addition to any criminal penalties.
The county collects this fine to recover the expenses incurred for emergency response to accidents or incidents caused by impaired drivers.
State law allows localities to charge a flat fee of 100 dollars, or a minute by minute accounting of the actual cost
s incurred ---up to a thousand dollars.
The Board of Supervisors will soon decide whether it wants to change to that minute by minute accounting.

"I HAVE TRIED EVERYDAY UP UNTIL THIS MOMENT TO SETTLE THIS CASE AND THEY

Gruner and Jahr--the Publisher of the now defunct "Rosie" Magazine is
suing O'Donnell for 100 million dollars for quitting the glossy monthly.
O'Donnell is counter-suing for 125 million dollars-- claiming she was
cut out of key editorial decisions.

magazine...recounted how O'Donnell allegedly became angry over
Spengler's refusal to talk about the magazine's problems....O'Donnel
considered that lying and said....people who lie get cancer.

"THAT'S NOT GOING TO INFLUENCE THE JUDGE AT ALL, THAT'S NOT GOING TO
