Lincoln alcohol program cuts drunken driving arrests in three years
In Lincoln Nebraska a federally funded program cut drunken driving arrests by half and lowered traffic fatalities over its three year run. Arrestee numbers dropped from 500 a year and staff fell from 45 to 22 as federal funds ended. The city budget was slashed and protests grew, with critics calling it police terror while safety experts note persistent alcohol related danger.
