Truckers Would Be Helped By Special Licenses
The Motor Vehicle Code includes an amendment to grant special licenses for truckers and others who drive professionally after driving violations. A Transportation Committee vote approved the measure before a full Senate vote next week. The plan would create a transportation department board to decide eligibility, exclude repeat or drunk drivers, set a $25 fee, and seek to improve highway safety while limiting suspensions and crime penalties. The bill also proposed a rigorous studded tire ban and radar use, with other education mandates, though some sections were removed by the House.

Marines Admit Recruiting Abuses Probe Underlines Abuses
Washington AP reports that Marine Corps Commandant Louis Wilson testified before a House subcommittee that recruits have faced harassment by drill instructors but pledged rapid action to prevent future abuse. He said investigators found no misconduct in the Lynn McClure recruitment, though courts martial are pending in his death during a mock bayonet exercise. Wilson defended recruiters who checked police records and rejected false names, while lawmakers pressed for truth about signups and mental fitness standards. A Detroit recruiter and a former recruit described pressure to meet quotas and abuse, including threats and calls of insanity, highlighting concerns over an all volunteer force pressuring skewed enlistment.
