Laws To Curb Drunken Driving Are Found Less Harsh
Richmond April 21 Virginia laws to curb drunken driving are described as the stiffest among new anti drunk driving measures but noted as less harsh than prohibitions-era rules. The Layman act penalties evolved from fines up to 1,000 and long jail terms to revised fines 100 to 1,000 with shorter jail times and annual license revocation for first offenses. Second offenses retain same fines with mandatory jail and 1 to 3 year revocation. Other states like Wyoming Pennsylvania Utah Minnesota Illinois and Ohio follow varied approaches from license revocation to financial responsibility requirements and allowances for open containers.

Cheaper whiskey policy eyed to curb bootleggers in Virginia
Richmond April 21 Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board backs cheaper whiskey as a tool against bootleggers and asks Congress to cut the federal tax from $2 to $1 a gallon. The move follows a request from Ohio and others and cites a 200% price rise due to the tax, while distillation cost to bootleggers runs under 40 cents per gallon. The board also hints at plans to work with distillers on a special corn whisky for Virginians, who have favored corn whisky for seventeen years.
