I want to see this for food stamps. If they loose their food stamps they will also loose their free phone

They make drug test you can buy in the store. Let's start testing all our family members. Mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters. Leave no stone unturned. Let's test ourselves. We are going to support them one way or another. At least on the street they can work and buy their own. But lock them up, or fire them. We still pay to support them. Got to take the good with the bad I guess.

Its about time. It seems the city is years behind in taking this type of action. All the employees !! From top to bottom. Including ALL those that run the city

Lets not forget to test the ones with their hands out for the tax free dollars (welfare).Oh i forgot that would be a violation of their rights.

And they are not already? I guess in Crime Bluff it would cost them half their employees.

Lets not stop there, if your drawing state assistance it should be Arkansas law to be drug tested. I'm drug tested at my job and my tax dollars go to pay the welfare system. whats good for one should be good for all in this case!!!

It's about time. I've seen people smoking pot on street corners within sight of the court house. I've seen teachers at the middle school buying pot from students. This will at least create a few job openings in the city.
