Far from saving the state money, Florida's new welfare drug testing law, promoted aggressively by Gov. Rick Scott, seems to be a budget buster. The law also seems likely to be found unconstitutional -- FoxNews's Megyn Kelly, host of the show "Kelly's Court," thinks so (as do we) -- and taking it through the courts to find that out will cost Florida taxpayers additional funds.
Unfortunately there have been a lot of these bills lately, this year [12] and in other recent years [13]. One more seems to be coming up in Ohio [14], and legislation may be coming up very soon in Congress -- we'll update here as soon as we know more.
