Drunk Driving Bill Headed to Kitzhaber's Desk

Oregon lawmakers have a message for drivers: don't drive drunk. One bill increases various fees by $100 for those convicted of DUII. Pendleton Senator David Nelson says if you ant to avoid the fees, it’s simple: don’t drive drunk. But Scappoose Senator Betsy Johnson is troubled.  She says more affluent offenders would be asked to pay more than those less well off. Another bill requires ignition interlock devices for those who enter a diversion program rather than serving prison time. They're both headed to the Governors desk.
