We're mighty appreciative that DRUNKS are finally being removed from our roads, at least temporarily.
What does that say?
Because of a federal grant, roads are finally being adequately patrolled?
This after Beacon Hill ratified FREE ALCOHOL that will fill our roads with DRUNK GAMBLERS ???
Are there any establishments that will have their licenses suspended for turning DRUNKS onto the streets, making each of us an innocent target ???

13 arrested at Abington drunk driving checkpoint
ABINGTON —
A sobriety checkpoint on Route 18 yielded 13 arrests Friday night.
The 13 arrests were made by the combined efforts of the Abington police and the state police, according to Abington Police Chief David Majenski.
The checkpoint was part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” mobilization by the state Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, according to a press release by Abington police.
During the checkpoint at Cape Cod Lumber on Washington Street every vehicle was greeted briefly by an officer, said the release, which was posted on the Abington Police Department’s official Twitter account.
Among the eight drivers arrested by the Abington police were seven first-time offenders and one second time offender.
The Abington Police Department joined 128 other law enforcement agencies statewide in support of an intensive crackdown on impaired driving which will continue until Sept. 3 as part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over mobilization, funded by a federal grant administered through the EOPSS.
Abington police were also one of 24 departments in the state to receive a Silver Award of Excellence from the EOPSS on Friday as part of the 2012 Massachusetts Law Enforcement Challenge.
