SCOTT'S DRUG TESTING BILL 'LONG OVERDUE'

I don't agree with our governor 99 percent of the time. However, his
bill to have people drug tested before receiving welfare benefits is
long overdue. As a taxpayer for more than 50 years, I would have and
didn't have any problem submitting to a drug test for employment
purposes. Why should the taxpayers be responsible for buying people
drugs? The American Civil Liberties Union and some legislators say
this is unconstitutional. Is it unconstitutional for employers to
require a drug test before hiring someone? What is the difference? If
you don't want drug addicts tested, give them your own money! If
there is a judge out there who thinks drug testing is
unconstitutional, he or she must have a good reason, like not wanting
to be tested. Think about it. This is one good thing Scott has done.
Don't ruin it!
