Driving Kids Crazy

The school bus driver arrested Wednesday on charges of driving drunk when he brought a student from the Perkins School for the Blind home was hired by the bus company ­despite a record that includes seven prior ­license suspensions and two previous arrests on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Michael A. Tantillo, 41, of Leominster also lacked the proper pupil transport license.

It was the second time in 10 months that the company, Ride-Rite Medi-Van Inc. in Leominster, has raised concerns by allowing an unlicensed operator to drive a school bus. The company is now facing suspension or ­revocation of its school transportation license plates.

Let's not get too worried here.  They're just blind kids, right?  I mean, seven prior license suspensions surely skidded through a routine background check.  Right?

Those idiots.
