Manendo honored for DUI fight

Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2004 | 9:15 a.m.

Assemblyman Mark Manendo, D-Las Vegas, will be honored Wednesday with the Legislative Leadership award from the National Commission Against Drunk Driving.

Manendo pushed Nevada's new law that lowered the legal blood-alcohol content to 0.08 percent. He also has worked on laws to require more community service hours and fines for people convicted of driving drunk.

Manendo has volunteered extensively for the cause, helping with fund-raisers for victims of drunken driving and distributing information on the issue, he said.

Wednesday is the first day of National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month.
