If they're going to approve silly requirements like this, how about they go the full distance and include drug testing for politicians as well? How can we be sure that the governor and the rest of the state politicians aren't using taxpayer money to support drug habits? When they waste everyone's time with policies like this rather than solving the employment problem, one has to wonder what drugs they're on. CNN:
Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Sunday defended recent legislation that requires adults applying for welfare assistance to undergo drug screenings, saying the law provides "personal accountability."
"It's not right for taxpayer money to be paying for somebody's drug addiction," Scott told CNN's T.J. Holmes on Sunday. "On top of that, this is going to increase personal responsibility, personal accountability. We shouldn't be subsidizing people's addiction."
But the ACLU of Florida, which has already filed suit against Scott over a measure requiring government employees to undergo random drug testing, disagrees, and may sue over the welfare law as well.
