Northwest Indiana Discussion

I have been hearing that their will be drug test for applicants for poor relief is this true?

I have been a longtime proponent for this to be instituted.

If the government does implement this policy they should also consider problems that it will create . Like more people moving into apartments units than is legally allowable for occupancy therefore I suggest to all watchdogs / advocates of this board to be very aware of family dwellings and apartment units that house large numbers of people and get your cities and towns to enact legislation and enforce occupancy rules.

Talk with you local building commissioner head them off at the pass as they said in the wild wild west.

It's already happening here in Gary and I know of a couple of places it's happening in Crown Point Indiana.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed !

Prepare yourselves you may see your quiet neck of the woods being invaded by many who can't pass a drug test moving back into your neck of the woods into their parents houses with all their children .

Don't fool yourself your neighbors all lie about how well their children are doing. When you see hundreds of unruly children and the calm is no more it will be to late.

at last we agree

In order to get a job at many places, you need to pass a drug test. I totally agree if you want a check every month, there should be random tests. The only problem I see is parents partying then losing their $$ - what happens to the kids?

I agree.

Being poor is free, the welfare and the social security should come with the urine test.

A poll on this might be interesting!

I agree from the Mayor on down and all the Lake county council and police and fireman and doctors and nurses should all have to be tested by independent facilities.

Drug test all politicians !

Including the president!

I have been random drug tested over 15 times in one year when I worked for the railroad.

There need be an independent facility that handles all random testing.

I was tested almost every month and twice in some months they say it was random but thats was a lie.

Some well know dopers were never tested because they supplied management with narcotics and prostitute's and supplied them with stolen goods at discount prices and worked on their homes and killed people for them.

I usually am against the idea of drug testing, but as is the case at most employers, its required, and I think if you are on welfare, food stamps, WIC, etc, the users should be drug screened at least once a month, since they are getting a free ride basically.

No one who is not using drugs will have any issue taking a drug screen, considering if they want to land a job, they more than likely will have to take one anyways

If they fail, they lose benefits, and if they have kids, well Foster care kicks in.

That is why at the age of 38 I decided not to take an operation to fix my back and escaped that hell hole taking my 3 pensions!
