Sanford pushing DUI bill

Gov. Mark Sanford will be in Spartanburg Friday to join 7th Circuit Solicitor Trey Gowdy and other law enforcement personnel in calling for the passage of tougher drunk driving laws.

South Carolina's current DUI law is considered by many in law enforcement to be weak and unenforceable, a contributing factor in South Carolina's high DUI death rate, said a media advisory released by Sanford's office.

A tougher DUI bill has recently passed the House, and is awaiting action in the Senate.

Any odds on if the legislature sent the bill to him, he'd veto it anyway?

More police powers for the state I'm sure in the name of our safety. Get ready for even more roadblocks and lisence checks, etc.
