I absolutely agree with the Gov. of TX.
I hope all other Governors follow Perry's lead!

Money is deducted from each person pay its called unemployment insurance. Just more right wing posturing. Dewhurst just trying to get his name back in the publics eye after getting his rear end kicked by Ted Cruz.

Testing didn't pay in Florida. It just made the right wing nuts feel good at taxpayers expense.

I have been forced to drug test at work, never felt demonized. The savings in dropping the druggies will more then cover the cost.

The facts don't back you up. There was no savings produced by drug testing in the states that tested. It cost the state without the results the right wing nuts wanted..

Poor people aren't the only ones getting high, they just get caught more often. And can't afford high priced lawyers. I would worry more about the ones working on cars and airplanes, that get high on their lunch breaks.
