State Representative Jim Soletski, a Democrat from Green Bay, thinks putting two traffic roundabouts near Lambeau Field is a bad idea, because some fans might be too inebriated to safely navigate the roundabouts: “While we would hope no one will be driving impaired, the reality is that with thousands of people leaving a football game [...] I remember when Rep. Jeff Wood, arrested earlier this year for drunk driving and possession of marijuana, said he wouldn’t fight the charges against him or hire a lawyer. Unsurprisingly, Rep. Wood is still fighting the charges against him, and what’s more, Wood and his attorney are now challenging the legality of the search of [...] Here’s the setup: Jay Taylor got drunk. Jay Taylor made a choice to drive while drunk. Jay Taylor chose to drive a motorcycle, for which he didn’t have a license, drunk. Jay Taylor, driving drunk on the motorcycle he wasn’t licensed to drive, killed his female passenger, who happened to be his girlfriend. [...] After drinking at least 10 beers at a golf course on state Highway 167 and being left behind by the relatives who brought him there, a South Milwaukee man decided to drive himself the nearly 40 miles back to his home – in a golf cart. The man was arrested Saturday, and upon submitting to [...] On April 25, 2008 Jennifer Bukosky, her unborn daughter Sophie Bukosky and her 10 year old daughter, Courtney Bella, were killed by Mark Benson, who was intoxicated on prescription medication at the time.

Last week Benson plead no contest to [...] Former physician Mark Benson entered no-contest pleas this afternoon to three charges of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and two counts of causing injury while drunken driving. In return for his plea, prosecutors dropped several other charges against Benson. At the time of the crash that killed Jennifer Bukosky, her unborn child and [...] State Rep. Marlin Schneider (D-Wisconsin Rapids) has a brilliant idea: erasing drunk driving offenses off an individual’s record after 10 years. Speaking about the fact that current law mandates repeat violations must stay on a driver’s record for a lifetime, Rep. Schneider said, “I think that’s way too long. There’s no forgiveness anymore. I [...] I’ve spent a little time here at Blogging Blue talking about the need to reform Wisconsin’s drunk driving laws, and in keeping with my support for reform of Wisconsin’s drunk driving laws, I’d like to encourage my 3 loyal readers to visit JenniferBukosky.com and sign their petition demanding change in the current Wisconsin Operating While [...] Last week Friday, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said he opposes making first-offense drunken driving a crime and would like state law changed to give judges the option of sentencing second-time offenders to probation rather than mandatory jail time. It’s worth noting Wisconsin is the only state in America that treats first-offense drunk driving [...] State Rep. Jeff Wood was charged today in Columbia County Circuit Court with third-offense drunken driving, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, offenses that could put Rep. Wood behind bars for up to 19 months if convicted. I’ll be curious to see if Rep. Wood take a plea deal or fights the charges, [...] |
