Supports drug testing
To the editor:
Gov. LePage’s proposal to require drug testing of welfare recipients is right on the money. I believe this is not too much to ask.
Our state helps these people to try to survive. We don’t need our state money buying prescription drugs and marijuana, crack cocaine and other illegal drugs on the street. All it is a simple test.
These judges and Democrats and Republicans need to wake up. We need to do something. I support Gov. LePage 100 percent. Everybody who has had their home broken into, cars stolen or tools taken should support him too.
There is one more problem in our state: Our schools are full of illegal drugs. Ask the superintendents and principals and they say they have a handle on it. This is not true. They cannot catch one-tenth of the kids taking drugs in our schools.
A simple drug test is not much to ask of every student and every teacher and every staff member in our schools.
