It was an article from the local paper that a puke wrote. He ran as a Dem and when he lost the primary, they begged him to run as a Pub and he won. A lot of people thought he was a Dem.
I think that since taxpayers are paying their salaries, the reps ought to be tested.

A friend emailed me a copy of Rep Windshitl's newsletter. In that he had a promise of introducing such a bill.

for welfare recipients because a Democrat added something about elected officials being tested as well. Oh the horror!
Actually, I think some of these elected officials may be better off if they toked every now and then. Or took Prozac or something.
