Governor Pawlenty is none to happy with a city memo that suggests lenient treatment of DWI offenders. The story with the Pawlenty sound bite was on WCCO-TV this evening. Here is a quote from a story on the CCO web site at wcco.com. "In an internal memo obtained by WCCO-TV, a top city attorney said drivers who blow a .10 or less should be given a "careless driving or other appropriate misdemeanor."
That recommendation applies if it is the offender's first DWI, there was not an accident and the driver cooperates with sobriety tests, the memo said." Bill Dooley Kenny REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
