I encourage legislators to get tough on adults who buy and distribute alcohol to
minors who then get intoxicated and kill people just as the laws get tough with
adults who buy and give guns to minors. The punishment should be the same.
Legislators should also pass a law requiring proscecutors to go after adults who
break the law by giving alcohol to minors. Salt Lake City has had a rash of
intoxicated minors killing people while driving yet for some reason the city
prosecutor will not go after the adults involved. Why?

I would also encourage legislators and the public to include inhalants in your
list of substance one can be arrested for while driving under the influence. In
States where inhalant products have been added to the list of intoxicants DUI
arrests have risen significantly indicating that this has been a log standing
problem that has slid under the radar. Inhalants can kill when they are simply
inhaled but when they are combines with driving the effects can be
devastating....we know we lost our son to a driver under the influence of
computer duster
