Attached a link to an article from today's Sun Sentinel http://www.sun-sentinel.com/health/fl-scott-suspends-employee-drug-testi20110616,0,6797555.story reporting that Governor Scott has suspended the order he signed earlier this year requiring random drug tests of all state employees in light of an ACLU law suit. The governor had signed the order for so-called "suspicion-less" drug tests – so termed because all state employees would be subject to them, regardless of their job or whether they were suspected of using drugs – in March. He also successfully urged the Legislature to require drug tests of all new applicants for welfare assistance, which the ACLU is also expected to challenge.
I encourage all of you to speak up loudly against the mandatory drug testing of welfare recipients which will be challenged in court, too.
Yours
Bernd
