RHINELANDER - Gov. Scott Walker's budget calls for drug testing to receive certain welfare assistance. Walker says the project only targets healthy adults without children.
Walker said in his budget address on Feb 3rd that people would need to pass a drug test to get a welfare check. Groups like the Human Service Center in Rhinelander could end up performing much of the testing.
"To ensure that we can look at the levels and see if they are using a kind of substance and then assist them in any kind of treatment," Behavioral Health Administrator Donna Shimeck said.
