This is an unfair tax against those Americans who do not consume alcohol.

Since when did fairness ever matter to the gov.

Maybe someone should suggest that we New Mexicans be tested for alcohol at the polls?

I think it's a travesty that most states ban the sale of alcohol until the polls close on Election Day, as it is almost impossible to vote for most politicians sober.

As usual, the criminals & scoflaws will ignore it, hoping not to be caught, same as they drive unlicensed & uninsured. How many of the 'target group' are repaeat offenders, 'driving while suspended'? Problem is, the judges have forgotten how to "suspend" them properly, instead of shaking a finger & tsk-tsking at them.

This is not going to go anywhere in the next 15 hours, which is all the legislature has before they are required to adjourn under state law. I called my state senator this morning and the secretary said the volume of calls against this silly scheme had been steady all morning. It will be buried in committee and die at noon tomorrow unless Bill Richardson calls a special session and adds it to his list. I don't think even he is so stupid as to make NM anymore of a laughing stock than it already is.

Ignore it? Criminals (especially rapists) will love a device that imposes a 30-second delay in starting an (honest citizen's -- their own will be hot-wired) car.
