Former City Councilor Kendra Lara avoids jail for crashing into home

• She was ordered by a judge to apologize to the homeowner, 84-year-old Georgia Kalogerakis.

What they're saying: Kalogerakis told the Boston Herald that Lara "didn't really suffer any consequences."

• "I don't understand how someone can lose control of a car for such a long distance and not be responsible," she said.

The big picture: The plea wraps up a high-profile case that wrecked Lara's political career when it revealed she had been driving an uninsured car without a valid license for a decade.

• The District 6 Democrat was defeated in last year's election by Councilor Benjamin Weber.
