Early last year, President Clinton, arguing that “it will save hundreds of lives each year,” came out with a noble-sounding proposal on drunk-driving laws.
He said that come October 2001, any state with a blood-alcohol standard higher than 0.08% should be subject to losing 5% of its federal highway funds, a penalty he said should increase later.
The president is once again pushing that proposal to withhold federal highway aid to states that fail to adopt the new, stricter national standard, which passed the Senate, 63-32, but died in the House last year.
