While a full 20 percent of those offenders returned to prison, 80 percent are still on the streets – potentially putting lives at risk.

“Catherine Cortez Masto failed Nevada families over and over again. She neglected her duty to keep Nevada safe as Attorney General and her decision to allow dangerous drunk drivers back on the road endangered lives. As the state’s top law enforcement official, Cortez Masto should have put the safety of Nevada families first – but every dangerous drunk driver allowed back on the road put lives at risk.” – NRSC spokesman Greg Blair
