Got a Felony? Phillip Pettus Wants to Take Away Your Driver's License

This falls under the category of things you won't read in the TimesDaily: Rep. Phillip Pettus, a member of the Judiciary Committee (Yeah, sure, he has so many law degrees...), has been very active in discussion of the prison reform bill now before the legislature. According to the Anniston Star:

Judiciary committee member Rep. Phillip Pettus, R-Greenhill, questioned the fairness of granting licenses to ex-felons when people arrested for drunk driving and other traffic violations can lose theirs.

Yep, denying a former felon a driver's license should really help him out in that job search. Way to go, Rep. Pettus. You just keep shoving your foot farther and farther into your mouth, don't you?
