MILWAUKEE -
Gov. Jim Doyle says a third conviction for intoxicated use of vehicle
should be made a felony, carrying prison time, as a way to protect the
public from those who repeatedly drive under the influence.
A former surgeon with three past OWI convictions faces three counts
of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle in a crash April 25 that
killed an Oconomowoc school administrator, her fetus and her
10-year-old daughter.
Doyle says he’s pushed for tough drunken driving penalties since
his days as a prosecutor.
Several legislators called Wednesday for tougher penalties.
Democratic Rep. Bob Ziegelbauer of Manitowoc says he and three other
lawmakers are pushing for a third conviction to mean revocation of
driving privileges and confiscation of vehicles.
