Wisconsin GOP official resigns after drunken crash with kids in car
Jane Kohlwey, the Columbia County District Attorney, also a Republican, has requested that a special prosecutor from neighboring Dane county handle the case. Ms. Hahn, a Poynette School Board Member and volunteer firefighter said in her resignation statement, “It is clear to me now that I have lost focus and I am trying to do too much. I have an addiction to alcohol and need to address it.”
UPDATE: Ms. Hahn is also the GOP official who appeared on Fox News last February masquerading as an “upset Wisconsin parent” weighing in on the issue of public school teachers teaching union history in the classroom. Neither Ms. Hahn nor the hosts and producers of “Fox and Friends” felt the need to disclose that Hahn was a Republican activist and local GOP chair.

It doesn’t matter your party, color or religious affiliation I can’t stand when people try to look righteous and take no responsibility for their actions.
It’s not MY FAULT!
1. I have lost focus
2. I am trying to do too much
3. I have a medical problem
Nice apology for endangering her children and everyone else on the road.
