State Rep. Jeff Habay is to undergo psychological testing by today as part of an agreement with prosecutors in connection with charges that he threatened a witness.

It might be a good idea to test all in the government. Wouldn't those results be entertaining to read. The evaluations involve a battery of verbal tests to determine a defendant's mental health or fitness to stand trial.
