I just came across the "catch" here. That is aside from the claim that "98%" passed when 2% decided not to take the test and 2% failed. Someone can't do math.

Anyway, here's the catch. Testing began in late July. The reported result was based on an early sample of 40 people. So a correct headline would be "2% of carefully chosen people STILL fail". I'll be interested to see the results of a full month or two of,applicants. I'll also be curious to see if applications drop despite the bad economy because the druggies don't bother to apply.

I know based on experience that drug use in taxpayer subsidized housing is AT LEAST 20%. I don't too much care if someone wanted to use drugs. That's their business, to some extent. Just don't ask me to skip the dental work I need so I can pay for your house and groceries while you spend the day getting high.
