Drunk teacher wins unemployment benefits; gets to keep license

Drunk teacher wins unemployment benefits; gets to keep license « Watchdog.org:
"DES MOINES, Iowa — If Dennis Pagel had taken a box of school supplies while working as a teacher at Dallas-Center Grimes Middle School, he could have gotten in serious trouble.
Luckily for Pagel, he just showed up for work drunk and on OxyContin.
For lighting up a breath test at three times the legal limit, Pagel received a three-day suspension with pay and later was allowed to resign.
He’s now collecting unemployment, thanks to a ruling by an administrative law judge earlier this month.
