It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, and yet state transportation and law enforcement officials expect to nab a number of drunk drivers and other offenders with the enforcement blitz they have planned for the upcoming Labor Day weekend.

Alderman says drunk driving is not an accident… it is a choice that shows careless disregard for human life.
