Media Report Round-up: Ted Triebel's Drunk Driving Conviction

For those of you with much better things to do - like working and raising a family - than to try and keep up with the criminal dealings of your elected officials - no easy task in North Carolina, here is a round-up of the reporting on Ted Triebel's criminal conviction on DWI:

The News of Orange County - Cudos to The News for being the only media outlet with a quote from the convict himself.

The Durham Herald-Sun - Am I the only person who is uncomfortable with a judge who "almost apologized" for convicting a drunk driver when the evidence is clear that he is guilty? I hope not.

The Daily Tar Heel - The DTH was the only outlet with a quote from one of Ted's fellow board members. Hopefully, Eddie Eubanks is correct and the Board will "meet and talk" openly about the convicted criminal in their ranks.

It's obvious that the judge doesn't have a child at HES. The judge would have remembered the race baiting that Ted and his cronies tossed at the HES families.

Once again we have a school board member that has shamed the school district. This is unacceptable. Ted has shamed his family and his few friends. Arrogance breeds arrogance. A taste of humility and sincerity is in order for Ted.

That's a little strong comment. Ted made a bad decision by getting behind the wheel, but we shouldn't condemn him for one minor indiscretion. Instead, we should encourage him to get over his problems.

Totally agree.

Orange County School Board members: please remove Mr. Triebel from office so he can concentrate on getting better.
