Radio talker Michael Savage told World Net Daily (WND) he was “stunned” by the quick decision by incoming United Kingdom Home Secretary Alan Johnson to scrap his predecessor’s list of people banned from Britain – a list that included Savage along with Islamic hate preachers and mbt mwalk terrorists.Savage had mbt mwalk sued outgoing Home Secretary Jacqui Smith for libel for listing him, along with 15 others, as “least wanted” visitors in the country. Meanwhile, Smith’s successor, Alan Johnson, called the move a terrible blunder and told the London Daily Mail he would scrap the policy of maintaining such enemies lists.“I am stunned by this sudden sign of sanity in the UK government,” Savage told WND. “But I won’t believe it until they send a letter to me confirming it.”Savage said he also demands an apology from Smith.Johnson said Smith had no right to put Savage, the third highest rated radio talker in America, on the same list as a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, a skinhead gang leader and a Hezbollah militant.Last month, Smith resigned her position in the wake of scandal over personal use of taxpayer funds and her controversial ban of Savage.Savage took the offensive against her by a...

As pointed out in the first comment, I don’t see how they can prove someone has been smoking as opposed to chewing nicotine gum. You have to state only that you’re not using tobacco products; there is no rule against gum/patch. It seems to me that if someone tests positive for cotinine (which is a nicotine metabolite & not specific to tobacco), unless they can prove your cotinine levels are from tobacco products, they’ll have no legal right to penalize you. I prognosticate that the legal fees the state will incur via such battles will cost loads more than any increased healthcare costs ever did…

As to having to submit to random tests, I haven’t seen or heard any clause that addresses state workers who are disabled veterans. One state agency has disabled veterans across the state that help NC veterans find jobs, services, etc., whose job requirements are that they have to be a disabled veteran. Also, NC only pays HALF of this state worker’s salary; the Veteran’s Administration pays the other half. Disabled veterans are exempt from random tests, medical disclosure, etc. as stated to them from the VA. So, what will happen? The VA will probably end up in court, probably federal court, being military veterans at one time were federal employees. Does the state of NC really want to end up in court? Easley ended up in court when he was in and he lost.. Had to set up payments from money taken from one account to offset another. Oh and another thing, are teachers not state employees? Does the state of NC not pay their salaries? Only asking, due to statements such as,”state employees, teachers, and retirees will have to pay more for health coverage.” Why couldn’t it be written,” state employees and retirees will have to pay more….”?
