They're calling it the "Pee in the Cup" initiative — a proposed state ballot measure that would require doctors to be randomly subjected to drug and alcohol testing, the same way bus drivers are.
It's being pushed by a tech mogul who's on a very personal crusade to clean up the state's medical practices.
Bob Pack is a former AOL and NetZero exec whose 10-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter were struck and killed a decade ago near their Danville home by a driver under the influence of alcohol and prescription pills.
After going public with a campaign to put his kids' killer behind bars for second-degree murder, Pack turned his attention to helping the state track patient prescriptions and spot "doctor shoppers" like the driver in Danville.
