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! Michael Ryder, North Lauderdale - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
