Governor Bill Richardson today announced several new initiatives designed to reduce death and injury due to DWI in New Mexico.

“We have gotten tougher on drunk drivers every year since I became Governor,” said Governor Richardson. “We have done a lot, but as the tragedy that struck the Collins, Garcia and Gonzales families of Las Vegas last November and the wrong way crash at I-25 and Gibson this week indicates, we must do more.”

New initiatives announced today include:
