Week in Review : MAJOR EVENTS, IMAGES AND PEOPLE IN ORANGE COUNTY NEWS : COUNTY : Drug Tests Considered for County Workers
Orange County’s 12,000 employees may find themselves filling a vial or two in the future.
The Board of Supervisors last Tuesday voted to form a task force that will consider drug and alcohol testing programs for county employees.
