If people who serve in the military have to take a drug test, the people who get handouts should have to take drug tests (and pay for them). There should also be a cap on how many children they have while on welfare.

	Let the applicant pay for the drug test, eliminating the problem you mention with the Florida program. Why does the state have to pay for the applicants drug testing? If they really need the assistance and can actually pass the drug tests, they will apply regardless of the fee. Should be no bitching from applicants as the benefits far outweigh the cost of the drug testing. No need to assume more cost in hiring extra people. Use the personnel already on board to administer the program as additional job duties. Those that want a job will stay. Those that think it is an additional job assignment and can't handle it will leave.

	And it's working so well in Florida ( sarcasm alert). I just read an article it is costing Florida state government several times more than it is saving. And guess who is profiting there? The Govenor and his wife. I wonder whose pockets wI'll get lined here?

	From the MJ: Bill would require drug test to get unemployment, other state help By William Hershey \| Thursday, August 25, 2011, 03:10 PM State Sen. Tim Grendell, R-Chesterland, said Thursday that he will introduce legislation requiring Ohioans seeking government aid such as unemployment benefits and welfare to first submit to drug tests. “Hard working taxpayers of the state of Ohio should not have to pay for the drug habits of illegal drug users,” Grendell said in a press release. “This assistance from the state is for those who need these funds for food and shelter, not illegal drugs.” The proposal is patterned after a law already in effect in Florida, Grendell said. Those seeking state aid would have to pay for the drug tests but would be reimbursed if they pass, the release said. Those who fail a second time would be banned from receiving aid for three years. Grendell currently is seeking cosponsors for the proposal.
