what do you guys think?? personally i think this should have happened a long time ago. tired to paying my taxes and having them not be put to good use. I just wish other states would adopt this rule as well.

oh that's BS too

$12/hr nets you $1920 a month, that low of an income you are in the 15% tax bracket, the second lowest.

Cheap apartments in VT can be found for less than $700 a month, plus say $50 for heat.

so you have almost $900 left after rent heat and taxes. You're telling me that won't buy food for a month?

Right because drug testing doesnt cost anything to do, and that money definitely wont also come from your taxes. This isnt difficult to understand at all. This is still spending your money, just in a different way. Sure the druggies wont get welfare, instead millions will get spent drug testing everyone, and those who do pass will still get your tax dollars.

Wasting tax dollars to screen people to make sure they don't waste tax dollars...oh the irony.
