AN ALBUQUERQUE LAWMAKER HAS AGAIN FAILED TO GET A BILL PASSED CRACKING DOWN ON DRIVERS WHO ARE ON DRUGS. REPRESENTATIVE BILL REHM’S PROPOSAL HAS BEEN TABLED BY A LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE. IT WOULD HAVE SET LIMITS ON THE AMOUNT OF POT, METH, OR HEROIN A DRIVER COULD HAVE IN THEIR SYSTEM.
REHM SAYS DRUGGED DRIVING IS A REAL PROBLEM. OVER THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS, A DRIVER HIGH ON LSD HIT AND KILLED SOMEONE.
REHM TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB THE LEGISLATURE ISN’T TAKING THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY…AND HE SAYS THAT’S A SLAP IN THE FACE TO FAMILIES WHO’VE LOST LOVED ONES DUE TO DRUGGED DRIVERS.
