Cheryl Jones, state chairwoman of
MADD, said the organization was satis
fied with the increased consequences of
drunken driving. “I’m delighted that the
district attorney was up-front to consider
it as serious as it is,” she said. ‘Just because
alcohol is in (a driver’s system), they can’t
say they didn’t commit a murder.”

“I don’t think any other industiy

he said. “I dunk what’s going to resonate
with legislators is their contributors and

But legislators argued that while the
immediate concern was tobacco com

But Sen. Thomas Odom, D-Iredell,
said that if the crime fell in the category

He said, “If facts are heinous and they

Rep. Edward Redwine, D-Brunswick,
proposed that the N.C. General

tobacco companies to purchase more

“I hope that everyone will send a
message to our farming families that we

Gubernatorial candidate Rep. Leo

Redwine’s proposal.
He also suggested that legislators place

dependent on how much the gas station
bought it for.
“We purchased gas when the prices
were high, so we could not reduce the

The City Editor can be reached

Dudly Witt, attorney for Thomas
Jones, said this ruling was too broad and
could be applied to those intentionally
speeding who wreck and kill someone.
But Cheryl Jones said someone must
be in the act of committing a felony for
the ruling to apply, she said. Odom
added that Thomas Jones disregarded
the consequences and should be
charged with a felony. “It does not make
a difference if he meant to or not -

But this plan drew heat from other
lawmakers, who argued that the sunset
provision might raise other legal issues
and cast doubt on the bill as merely a
concession to tobacco companies.
“My view is that you’re treading on
dangerous water if you do that,”
Redwine said. “(The bill) is to apply
evenly to every industry.
“I think you do run some constitu
tional risk if you do that.”
