WASHINGTON, D.C. (WKRC) -- An Ohio Senator wants lawmakers to be drug tested. Democratic State Senator Nina Turner says if people getting welfare need to be tested for illegal drugs then so do members of the state legislature. Under the proposal, lawmakers would be screened for at least once a year.  Lawmakers who test positive would be removed from office and not get paid until they test clean. A similar proposal died last session.
