Vice Chair of College of the Desert gets second DUI

Dude had a blood alcohol level of 0.28 (in technical terms, he was totally wasted). Last time he was caught, he said "I'm still learning and I'm still growing, and I'm working every day to become a better public servant."

How is he leading the board of an institution of higher learning? Someone we want our students looking up to?
