I agree that the State Patrol needs more money (my dad was a trooper for 30 years). However, they have needed money for the past 20 years. This bill in and of itself should have little impact on their need. It's funny, because the 0.08 legislation will incur a huge cost to law enforcement, but no one ever brings that up. My dad always said it's not the .08 or the .10 guys you're worried about, but the folks that are .27 with 6 DWIs and no license. Down here in Blue Earth County, they are saying the conceal/carry registration process will cost more than the maximum fee allowed by the law ($100). It all looks like a lot of posturing. In addition, our Gov was wrong when he said this was an issue (the 2 AM bar time) brought up by two DFL mayors. It was originally presented in the Senate by Sen Mark Ourada, a Republican from Buffalo. I was at the hearing. I guess you don't need to have your facts straight when you are talking to the press.
