(Lansing, MI)  --  As state lawmakers get back to work, most of the attention is on fixing the state budget.  But Lansing-area state Representatives Rick Jones and Mark Meadows are also pushing bi-partisan legislation to allow police to use a new portable drug testing kit during traffic stops.  Jones, a former Eaton County sheriff and a Republican nominee for the state Senate seat that Saugatuck’s Patty Birkholz must surrender due to term limits, said the kit tells an officer within minutes if a person is high and compared it to the use of breathalyzers to measure alcohol.  Meadows, an East Lansing Democrat, has co-sponsored a series of bills with Jones on the subject.
