I saw it on the news a few days ago. I'm surprised it wasn't big news. I also found out that Wisconsin is the only state where your first offense DWI is only a ticket. No jail time, no nothing. You just call someone and they come and pick you up. I think she got a $700 fine and thats it. What a crock.

ya, she's can kiss her political career good bye.

A crock? Do you realize that DWI's are really not the problem they are implied to be?

There is an extremely minor amount of accidents caused by this, yet so much money is invested (and made) off the 'cause'.

The biggest problem is the 'line in the sand' and testing method....both are terribly inaccurate measures of one's ability or lack thereof.

It has been said that everyone has been guilty of DWI/DUI if they drink even semi-regularly.

38.4% of total 41,480 traffic fatalities in 1998 were alcohol-related. I'd hardly call that "minor" regardless of how you measure it.

You are talking fatalities. How many accidents did COH play a part in....you would expect a high number of fatalities to have some problem....it's like the commercials that say 1 in 3 accidents involving drugs are marijuana related. The statistic is useless.
