Are you kidding me? Had this been a staffer or "ordinary" County employee, they would have had huge monetary fines, points and County discipline levied against them. But since this is a Council member, she gets a $90 fine, warning and has to rely on someone else to driver her for a couple of months while she takes a "voluntary" course. Justice my backside. She should have her licenses suspended, as would almost anyone else going twice the limit would. She should loose PERMENTANTLY her County owner and insured vehicle. She could have easily killed people, but she's an elected official, so what more would you expect?

This is why people in other counties make PG the brunt of their jokes. Reading this, I guess we deserve it.....

Come on State Officials, do the right thing here. Our young people need to see that speeding is serious and that there are serious consequences when you break the drivings laws. They are dying or killing others due to speeding. If that had been me, I would have been sitting on the ground in handcuffs waiting to be carted off to jail. She is not setting a good example for young people or PG County.

When she kills someone and the County gets sued, guess who pays....and now her gross negligence is forseeable, and the County doesn't take her off the road, so it will be easier to award damages against the County. She is irresponsible and reckless.

The driving for which she gets a "warning" would have likely landed the rest of us in jail, along with whatever fines, tickets, points, etc. that would have been imposed.

As a secondary issue, in addition to a driver improvement class - which should be mandatory, not voluntary - she should also have to attend a time management class, since she claimed to have been late for a meeting.

Drivers like this are why it's unsafe to ride, cross, or even drive on many county roads. Anyone who thinks they deserve to drive 100mpg is a pure egoist -- indifferent to the potential hazards for others. I'd be curious whether her cell phone and text messaging records showed any cellphone use too?

Typical B.S. from the State of Maryland & Prince George's County Government - they only worry about raping the rest of us for every nickel and dime every chance they can get .... and then protect their own as they lie, steal, cheat, embezzle and extort with as little as a slap on the wrists. It's about time we take action and get rid of all these retreads that keep getting elected while eating up our tax dollars and earn huge salaries which they don't deserve.

I've had parking tickets >$90. Like to think those violations were a tad less serious than our representative's, but there's a difference between speeding, however pernicious, and what this woman was doing.
In my experience, driving around here is incredibly maddening. Drivers are consistently going UNDER the limit in 30/35 mph zones and/or camping out in the left lane on 295 w/ the cruise control set on 55 (no matter how many people stack up behind them).
105 is 105 (unless you're on the council), but unless I'm seriously underestimating the size of that body, can't imagine members make up 1% of the drivers I see driving similarly maniacally almost every day. Take Rte. 1 for example: one has to sneak slowly by the Panzer division of police protecting the 1/4 mile of University Park....UMd.: drivers gawking at/ scrupulously avoiding squashing bright young minds....camera cops which will give you a ticket for going 10 over w/ the flow of traffic...drivers incapable of merging on/off the beltway...
I guess my long-winded point is that this area is not Amish, a giant retirement village, or a protective bubble for children. That being the case, somewhat sensible people become frustrated when traffic doesn't flow in a reasonable manner. From there, it seems, a subset of drivers is so unwilling to accept this that they'll bob-and-weave through the muck at Karen Tolesian speeds.
Toles deserves stiffer punishment. Just hope our reward isn't more "public safety."

She should have been fired and gone to jail. It shows a total lack of responsibility and poor judgement on her part. In addition to the policeman, who also is guilty of the same irresponsibility, poor judgement, and negligence (by looking the other way concerning who he/she was dealing with). The county executive is just as responsible for the exact same things and overall lack of leadership in not taking the appropriate action and righting the wrong. If I or any other ordinary citizen would have done what she did: Here is a breakdown of the MD State penalties that are assessed for excessive speeding obtained from the following website:

send the fine to the PG councle maybe they will pay it , for her ,, they sure are not going to chanrge her ,,, TV 7 on your side need to address this , maybe a 30 day vacation from her position no pay would be a good start,,,

Mybe the state Tpper Commander needs addrr ess this and give the trupper latter in his file. or maybe a 5 day suppenison ,,

As heinous as her action was - and it certainly is yet another example of the "we are not mere citizens, we are the elite and don't have to follow THEIR rules" mentality, we should all be focused on the TRUE threat to this county, and this city.
Casino gambling - advocated by our own state senator, to the detriment of his own constitutents - is an even greater threat than speeding councilwomen.
I urge everyone here to refocus their ire on what will truly impact on their quality of life - casino gambling in our county must be stopped, befor

There might be hope after all....looks like somebody came to their senses and decided that a reckless driving charge ($500 and 6 points) was warranted. Now that she's up to $590 and 7 points on this one charge I wonder if she's still eligible to drive a county vehicle - I would certainly hope not, not ever again.

hmmmmm take a look at marylands public records and you will see that Angela Alsobrooks recieved a ticket in 2009 for goin 49 in a 30 mph zone. I wonder if she wasnt going faster. Probably so cause 1 more mile per hour would have given her a reckless driving ticket. They all are some crap and cover up even there own mistakes. They can do it but we can't.

Doesn't any one wonder why the county provides her a car in the first place? No one provide ME with a car in which to drive to and from work.

If she needs a government-provided vehicle, give her a pick up truck with a governor set at 55 mph and let her pick up trash on the way to the office.
