I think drug testing should be based on job performance. If a person is doing a good job, leave them alone. I think you guys should also unionize. Nothing scares a despot politician more than a block of union voters.

If I have to drug test to gain employment or remain employed then I feel that ALL government officials from the President down should be doing the same.

Some of the richest political families in America made their fortune boot legging and other illegal means to gain money and they don’t have to drug test?!

On top of that they want to drug test people for public assistance? Sounds like the rick kicking the poor again.

Drug Tests for Everyone!

With some of the laws coming out of the legislature many must be on drugs. Their trying to pass a bill that they could not be called to testify and their being able to order their staff to not testify at a court hearing is beyond belief. Our own “good old boy” voted to force us to have septic tank inspections every five years. When it hit the news then he said he voted for it—but didn’t know what he was voting for. That should give all of us a good feeling. Part of the problem is we keep putting the same people back into office year after year. A large part of the problem also is the lobbyist have deep pockets and are fast to help “their friends”. Case in point the bill that raised the tax on tobacco was to have raised the tax on beer one cent per can also. That part of the bill was dropped thanks to a very strong lobbying effort by the beer industry.

Forget about finding drug free persons to work. Try to find someone that wants to work, when you can be in a Nanny country and set on your but, draw unemployment year after year, which is another form of wellfare.

Drug testing is fine but start with the governor and work down. No one should be exemt. Test them all and let the results speak for its self!

Hopefully, this bill will include the Florida Legislature. Considering many of their bills in the past few years, it’s obvious that drug usage is rampant there…

I know the county currently has random testing and they will not hire you if you have used tobacco products in the last year.

Let’s drug test them. Why do they always leave themselves out. The things they do surely should get them tested. Crooks
