Rhonda Fields Arrest Record

I saw this come up when they were having the hearings on the pay for background checks. They don't run back ground checks for public officials because it is unconstitutional. Yes they have a right to serve and don't have to prove they are not criminals.

ALL public officials should be required to pass a background check AND be subject to random drug tests . . . otherwise, what is the point of background checks and drug tests? Everyone from Wal*Mart to RTD is subject to mandatory testing, so why should those elected officials empowered and entrusted to change the law of the land be treated any different? After all, they are allegedly "public servants" who work for the people, right?

Working at Walmart is not a Constitutional Right. Just saying.
