  1. This is what happens when you do not hire the most qualified people for jobs..starting at the top all the way down..Augusta politics at its finest..they should hire a consultant to tell them what to do so they can ignore it and write a check..seems like that’s what happens pretty much every time..

      How much does the county pay for a drug test now ?
      Can anyone suggest the most cost effective way to secure accurate drug testing by contracting with a vendor ( name the suggested vendors ) for several thousand drug tests over a twelve month period ?
