Boston Jakes Demand Cash to Prove That They Are Not Drunk, High, or Coked to the Gills

Boston firefighters lead busy lives. When they aren't allegedly smoking weed and popping pills in city vehicles, rolling through Texas with 41 pounds of weed, leading double lives as girlfriend-stalking bodybuilders, or fighting fires while coked up and drunk, they are attending union meetings where they steadfastly refuse to submit to drug tests. How can we expect them to work in a little exercise with such a full schedule? That's why the firefighters' union is pushing for fitness bonuses just like the cops get. Honestly, if the fitness test involves substance abuse screening, this Bostonist is all for it.
