SANTA FE (KRQE) – A lawmaker wants veterans to have a special New Mexico driver’s license so police would know they’re veterans. The reason why has stirred up debate.

His bill would allow veterans to have the word ‘veteran’ stamped on their drivers licenses if they so choose.

Republican Sen. Craig Brandt, who sits on the committee, was left fired up after what he says Rep. Steinborn said.

“He tried to sell it as a convenience for veterans,” Sen. Brandt from Rio Rancho said. “I don’t see it like that at all.

“He said that law enforcement needs to have this as a tool on your driver’s license so they know you’re a veteran because veterans have (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and they’re dangerous.”

Sen. Brandt, a veteran himself, said those comments offended him and all New Mexico veterans.

“It struck a nerve. I tried to hold my tongue but I didn’t.”

KRQE News 13 tried to catch up with Rep. Steinborn Thursday before a committee he sits on started but he didn’t want to comment.

So KRQE News 13 looked to an Albuquerque legion hall instead.
