More drunken driving law enforcement, middle school alcohol intervention and development of a community-based coalition to change the alcohol-fueled culture are three of five budget initiatives being introduced by Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk.
Falk announced the budget initiatives at a press conference Wednesday morning.
“The painful effects of over-consumption are being felt by people of all ages, costing taxpayers millions, and jeopardizing public safety,” Falk said. “Through very thorough study we’ve learned about new techniques to help confront the crisis of alcohol abuse. There is hope we can make a difference.”
