Fed Up San Francisco Voters Set to Implement Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients: 'The Pendulum Is Swinging'
Story by Jack Davis • 19h


Walking to cast their ballots next week along needle-strewn streets, past the gauntlet of addicts, petty thieves and empty storefronts that are the landmarks of 21st-century San Francisco, voters of the city by the Bay are expected to send a powerful message that they have had enough.
 
“The pendulum is swinging,” Malcolm Weitz, 41, said. “It’s coming hard-core back to the center.”

On Tuesday, San Francisco voters will decide the fate of two propositions.

Proposition F would require anyone getting public cash benefits to undergo drug screening. Proposition E loosens the rules on police surveillance and police chases, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Unfortunately, those tests cost money, something neither San Frasicko nor Mejifornia seem to have a lot of.

San Francisco residents will vote on a ballot measure next week introduced by Mayor London Breed that could require people with substance-use disorders to participate in treatment to qualify for The City’s General Assistance program.
...
The Human Services Agency currently runs the General Assistance, also known as the County Adult Assistance Program (CAAP), and would be responsible for the changes implemented by Prop F.

Sounds to me like Prop F would only apply to a SF City/County program.

That may be, but imagine the possibility of more money to shunt wherever.

It's useless if looting grocery stores isn't shut down, though.
