TEST EMPLOYEES

What is the problem of asking those whose salaries we pay through our
taxes to submit to a drug test? Do we have to pay for their drug
habits? Can we trust those who are responsible for our state's
business if they are opposed to drug testing?

OK, I know, the ACLU says we're infringing on their
rights.

How about my rights? Don't I have the right to demand that those whose
salaries I pay be clean of drugs?

Oh yes, aren't drugs illegal? I guess that hasn't entered into the
equation.

It's time that we, the taxpayA-ers, have a say in where our
hard-earned dollars are going, and it shouldn't be to support the drug
habits of state employA-ees.
