Drug testing
By Kay Taylor

I agree with the opinion letter by Jose Garcia. Since drinking
and boating is not allowed by Coast Guard directive, why doesn't
the city require drug testing for new hires and applicants as
well as current employees? They are on duty in the harbor and
are responsible for our safety. Why they are exempt and the
operators of boats are not flies in the face of discrimination.
