$250 Fine Not Enough
Editor, News-Register:
“Let's Party?”
The City of Wheeling Municipal Court only fines adults hosting underage drinking parties $250?
Well then, might you institute this program? I come in and pay you $250 to host said
party in advance; then I can invite anyone I want. Just tell the police department I paid my “fine” up front, so there is no need to waste time and money responding to reports. A “win/win” situation then?
Real effective for THE county that leads this state in alcohol deaths due to underage consumption.
Thank goodness for the “Victim Awareness Week” program that staged mock accidents for our youth recently. Seems they do take this issue more seriously than our court systems appears to.
The laws in West Virginia regarding supplying and hosting such “parties” MUST be changed. Our youth are at risk, and those that host are not, apparently.
What is wrong with this picture?! Ask those that can change our law! OH — and, remember to vote.
