Hey, tired of your ex-spouse sponging off of you, simply because the judge "ordered" you to pay support for that kid you had together? No problem. Just contact your local state representative and, maybe, just like with Iowa Sen. Mark Chelgren (R-Ottumwa), your lone request will lead to a proposed law to let any ex demand semi-annual drug tests of the support-receiving spouse.

(The proposal was laughed at by state lege Democrats, and subsequently withdrawn. Chelgren is also pushing a more conventional "welfare recipients should get drug tests" amendment.) #ddtb

Drug-addled sluts at that, apparently.
