for state lawmakers to be drug tested, any reaction so far? anybody thinking about taking you up on it? >> i heard that two of them had agreed to do it so that only leaves i think 158 more. i'm holding my breath. >> what is the justification for testing welfare recipients and state employees but not anybody else who receives state funds? like lawmakers, as you suggest, like state contractors, lottery winners, why just people on welfare and state employees? >> it's an easy target. this is class warfare. this is picking on the folks who happen to be unemployed especially ones with children. they're testing at a lower rate than the general population. the most recent federal drug survey shows national drug use at 8.9%, almost 9%. these people are living like monks compared to them. it's very easy and it's very popular to go after the poor and the disabled and those who are struggling to get work right
