Today, a federal court in Florida ruled that my home state's program of randomly drug testing state employees violates the Constitution. It was a great victory, after years of hard work by our ACLU colleagues in Florida and the Florida chapter of AFSCME, who were the plaintiffs in the suit.
Our Governor here in Maine has spoken supportively of expanding the use of drug testing. Not only do we believe that such drug testing is unconstitutional, we know it does nothing to save states any money.
Unconstitutional. No financial benefit. Sounds like the wrong program for Maine to me.
