Drunken driving proposal veers off in wrong direction

A bill that could potentially criminalize first-time operating-while-intoxicated offenders is on a list of proposals to be considered in the Wisconsin Legislature this fall. Penned by Gov. Scott Walker, it already has the support of a few Democrats. Currently, Wisconsin is the only state in the nation that does not press criminal charges against first-time offenders.
