Wow. You have to applaud Jason Levesque for clearly showing the contempt he has for state laws while hoping to become — drum roll, please — a lawmaker.

In his world, getting stopped for speeding more than 80 mph two days in a row is no big deal and his subsequent license suspension is “irrelevant.”

He hopes people are too busy worrying about the economy to care about his scofflaw behavior. However, society has made reckless driving an important issue. Lawmakers have enacted laws such as “Tina’s Law” and a distracted driving law to deter and punish those drivers whose risky behaviors endanger other people.

Now, Levesque wants to go to Washington as a lawmaker representing the very state whose laws he can’t be bothered to obey.

I, for one, am going to tell him “no” by voting for his opponent.
