Kelley Wirth cleanth up her meth

Yesterday, in a move that surprised... probably no one, Kelley Wirth pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine in a deal made with the district attorney that will allow her to avoid jail time. Instead, she will be on probation for 18 months, perform 80 hours of community service (hopefully not in the political arena), and pay a whopping $407. She was also going to lose her license, but she made puppy dog eyes at the judge and said something akin to, "Won't somebody think of the (my) children?" and he agreed to let her keep driving.

However, she is not to contact her alleged former lover, janitor Fernando Mendez, who was basically bribed over $20,000 to resign and promise not to sue the state government.

I'm not an advocate for jail time for minor drug possession, so this seems perfectly fair. It will be interesting to see what happens with the state ethics investigation over Wirth's last minute pay increases to her mother.
