Greene County can't afford drunk driving law

Enforcing the newly-passed Leandra's law, which requires all convicted drunk drivers to install ignition locks on their vehicles, may be too pricey for Greene County to handle, county lawmakers said at a meeting last night. The Daily Freeman reports:

Frank said the state should delay implementation until those questions are answered and until the issue of funding is resolved. He said to require all convicted drunken drivers to have an ignition lock device is another form of an unfunded mandate for the counties.

Ah, those unfunded mandates. They getcha every time.
