Ohio Lawmaker Introduces Bill That Requires Politicians, Judges, Police And Bankers To Be Drug Tested

The entire issue is ludicrous, but this makes sense given the legislative circumstances in Ohio.  If they are going to drug test welfare and food stamp recipients, then drug test everyone who receives a public salary.

This issue is NOT ludicrous at all! Most companies of any merit require drug testing prior to employment. Why shouldn't we hold politicians to the same standards? Those politicians that would oppose this must have a dependency problem that we don't know about. Many office-holders MUST be on drugs, judging by their performance... with them taking every opportunity to give money to the rich, is there any other possible reason for their stupidity?!

I am inclined to believe that what a man does with his own body on his own time is his own business.
But I also believe in Fairness. IF welfare recipients must be drug tested then ANYONE receiving government funds should be tested.
How many "defence" contractors snort blow off a hooker's rump?
How many judges have a pill habit?
Our society got where it is by having two sets of rules- one for the 99% and another for the Elite.

I've been saying this for years! I have to go through this B.S. every-time I start a new job, what makes the shmucks that made the law so special that it doesn't apply to them!! They shouldn't have a problem with it unless they have something to hide!!! My hat is off to you Robert Hagen!

I meant that drug testing welfare recipients is ludicrous.

YAYYYYYY make it random as well at any time during the course of a year you are subject to a test, and listen to the banshee like howls emanate. Also I think it should extend to all officers of the court which would include the prosecutors and defense lawyers as well. The cost will be astronomical of course but since we don't have any real work any more we have to support the new "security industry".
