Up & Down in Texas politics: Drug testing
    #21630079 - 05/03/15 01:06 PM (9 years, 17 days ago)

Quote:

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Are they on drugs? We could soon know if mind-altering substances are to blame for the Legislature's often wacky ways.

Sen. Eddie Lucio attached an amendment to a sweeping ethics bill requiring that all elected officials — from Gov. Greg Abbott to school board members — take drug tests and post the results online.

No one gets booted from office for failing, but doing so could make re-election tough. Lucio, a Democrat from Brownsville, has for years championed such testing and even once took a blood test to show he was serious.

"There were a couple of comments made and one of them was, 'This is silly,'" Lucio said. "It's because, 'Well, I'm a senator, I should be beyond this.' Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's exactly why we should be taking this."

His amendment passed after assurances it wouldn't include alcohol testing. Texas lawmakers have been known to throw back a few behind the scenes — especially amid late-night floor debates.

Drug testing likely won't survive as the ethics bill heads to the House, but Lucio says it's a win nonetheless: "If we ask our children whether or not we should take a drug test, how do you think they would vote?"

It only makes sense. If I can't get a job because I'm taking drugs, why should the ones deciding who gets a job be taking drugs?

Mandatory drug testing is an invasion of privacy and should be illegal to do on minors. I remember when I was younger and in high school they would drug test us once a semester. It was a super religious school and they would not let you back next year in if you failed one. You either had to take drug classes or get kicked out. I did that shit and I left that school once I finished the year and never looked back. That sophomore year of high school was hell, barely had any friends after that test. Luckily I have moved on with my life.

I like this. Im not about drug testing, however, if they force policy that requires me to do so, should they not be held to their own standards or higher even?

Lawmakers are known to drink on the job?


That explains a lot.
