A bill that would mean a mandatory five-year prison sentence for those who kill while drunk driving is before the Pennsylvania Senate.
HB 1733 was passed by the House 193-6 on June 10.
The dissenters, all Democrats, were Dwight Evans of the 203rd District, Gary Haluska of the 73rd District, Steve McCarter of the 154th District, Phyllis Mundy of the 120th District, Greg Vitali of the 166th District, and Jake Wheatley of the 19th District.
State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) notes that the bill would upgrade the offense to a first-degree felony.
I noticed that fat ass Briggs didn’t vote on it but I’m not surprised.
Tim Briggs was an aye according to the House’s roll call list.
