Family of teenager killed in drunken-driving crash want DUI penalties stiffened

Several hundred people traveled to the Statehouse yesterday and asked lawmakers to crack down on repeat drunk drivers. The group was motivated by the death of a Swanton teenager last November. The student was killed by a car that was traveling the wrong way on Interstate 89. The driver was a repeat DUI offender, and he’s been charged with being drunk in this case.
