Chuck's Stuff » News/Weather » Group criticizes stricter OWI law
Dec. 28, 2009
Wisconsin didn't need a tougher drunk driving law signed by Governor Doyle last week. That's the argument of Jim Baxter, the president of the National Motorists Association.
His group is based in Wisconsin, and he says the state's .08 blood alcohol standard is too strict. Baxter also refutes claims that drunk drivers are responsible for more than 40 percent of the fatal accidents in Wisconsin.
The legislature overwhelmingly approved a series of stricter penalties, including a provision that makes a fourth OWI a felony. It also requires ignition interlock devices for repeat offenders and first-timers with a high blood-alcohol concentration. |
