….has announced a new policy which will be drug testing for new applicants seeking employment in state agencies controlled by the governor’s office. There will also be random testing of those currently employed.
A similar rule was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge back in 2004, but Scott mouthpiece Brian Hughes says that lawyers have told Scott that he has legal ground to do this.
Scott also wants recipients of unemployment and welfare to be drug-tested, which a Senate committee has moved forward in bill form. Source
Let me get this straight. Governor Scott cuts back on education funding, destroys jobs that would have been provided by the light-rail system that he killed off, and this piece of shit wants to now spend money on testing out of work citizens applying for unemployment and/or welfare benefits? Wonder how much that is going to cost the less fortunate in Florida because it sure as hell will not be the richer residents or the business community, neither of which pay much in taxes, if anything.
By the way. I do favor drug testing new hires before giving them jobs with the state. Maybe Scott should add alcohol testing as it seems to be even more of a problem than dope does.
