Nicholas Kristof Instagram – Delighted for my buddy Eric Pleger, who lost his driver license 13 years ago to fines — which then made it much harder to work and pay the fines. Now there’s recognition around the U.S. that this is a dumb policy, and Eric was able this week to become a legal driver again. A special shout-out to the @OregonLawCenter (thanks, Jamie, Sybil, Katie and Grace), which provided pro bono help, and to @rep.benbowman for his guidance. It took four months of effort to defeat the bureaucracy, but Eric once again has his license — and that’s good for him and for society. I hope others also get help recovering licenses lost to fines. Congrats, Eric! | Posted on 13/Mar/2024 01:33:59
