LETTER TO THE EDITOR OF "THE NEWS-REVIEW" IN DOUGLASS COUNTY, OREGON.
I think this rule should apply in all states!!!
I have a question, not only for Douglas County, but for the entire state of Oregon. Like a lot of folks in this
state, I have a job. I work, they pay me, I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as they see fit.
In order for me to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, which I have no problem with.
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check, because I have to pass one to go earn it for them?
Please understand, I have nothing against helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a
problem with helping someone sit on their butt. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if
people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
