yes.... "I so want drug testing," Haley said. "It's something I've been wanting since the first day I walked into office." South Carolina's unemployment agency has said that drugs are a minuscule factor in jobless claims. A 2009 estimate put the rate at 0.3 percent. The Legislature is considering a drug-testing measure this year would cut off benefits if an applicant failed a potential employer's drug screening test. Indiana and Wisconsin approved similar legislation this year. The National Employment Law Project says there are no federal laws barring the practice and states have considered, but rejected, requiring the tests as a condition of receiving benefits. However, federal law won't let them charge the unemployed for the tests and states don't want to cover the costs. For instance, Texas legislators pushed that proposal until they found out it would cost taxpayers $30 million, said policy analyst Rebecca Dixon. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SC_HALEY_JOBS_SCOL-?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT Now, if you are told this... and someone tells you differently... wouldnt you bother to check out the story before insisting you were for drug testing?
