WHEREAS, 60 percent of all traffic fatalities in Minnesota involve
a drinking driver, and at least half of the drivers in fatal accidents

personal property damage affect all Fridley citizens; and

the drinking driver out of the driver's seat;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, William J. Nee, Mayor of

and individually responsible for keeping drinking drivers out of the
driver's seat.
