TALLAHASSEE — The American Civil Liberties Union filed suit Wednesday in a Miami federal court challenging Gov. Rick Scott's executive order forcing state employees to undergo random drug tests.
It's the first of a number of challenges the liberal-leaning group anticipates filing against Scott and a wave of conservative legislation that just flowed from the Republican-dominated Legislature, warned ACLU Florida executive director Howard Simon.
Random drug testing for welfare recipients, abortion restrictions, new voting restrictions and a ballot measure that threatens to erode church and state separation are all targets in the coming weeks, Simon said.
