Governor Martinez and fellow Republicans go for another try to overturn a state law allowing driver's licenses for illegal immigrants. Last week, a house committee rejected the governor's proposal but she hopes to revive it again as another panel, the House Judiciary Committee, considers legislation today that Democrats are offering as an alternative to the governor's plan. The Democratic-backed measure continues to allow driver's licenses to illegal immigrants but for only two years before needing renewal. Martinez opposes that bill, contending it's a public safety risk to grant licenses to illegal immigrants.
