Oppose Obama and Lose Your Job? Joe the Plumber Gets Threatened By Toledo Officials
Federal Review ^ | 10/16/08

Posted on 10/17/2008 8:42:17 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Toledo, Ohio, officials plan to notify "Joe the Plumber" Worzelbacher that he's out of work, following his televised criticism of Democrat Presidential candidate Barack Obama's tax plan:

A staff person with the Toledo Division of Building Inspection told On Call this afternoon that her division will contact Wurzelbacher to notify him that he can't work without a license.

"We're trying to track him down," she said.

In the meantime, the Democrat-friendly local plumbers' union is fuming.

"He has no license whatsoever with the city of Toledo," said Tom Joseph, the business manager for Local Union 50 of the Plumbers, Steamfitters and Service Mechanics, which has endorsed Obama. "He has no license in the state of Ohio. He has no contractor's license in the state of Ohio. He is not a plumber. He works for a plumber."

A roofing contractor has to be licensed.

In California a general contractor is usually hired to manage licensed contractors, although a general can do I think 2 or 3 building trades under his license.

It is doubtful the licensed plumber in a company *must* be the company’s owner. State code probably requires a qualified plumber in a supervisory role in the company. His license will be on the line for the work of all employees working under him. That licensed supervisor is often the owner, but that isn’t always the case. It would be like saying a large employer of people in various trades would need to be licensed in all of the trades of the people he employs.

“But then again I guess you do have to “vet” the newbies for the sake of the group, fair enough.”


Good observation and great patience, I did check your posting history you seem normal to me. For what that is worth.

Joe is lucky that Senator Government isn’t in charge - because if that were the case, he’d already be on his way to a re-education camp.

UnCivil War. Think Rawanda with machineguns.

The same has happened to Larry Sinclair. He was arrested by Sen. Biden’s son who happens to be the Attorney General of Delaware. Then 3 days after Biden was picked up as obambi’s mate, Sinclair was released.

This has nothing to do with O if the guy isn’t licensed.

Quote the licensing requirement.

I thought it was called McCarthyism to get someone blacklisted because of political views. Looks positively STALINIST what the Democrats are doing here engaging in a partisan witchhunt.

A staff person with the Toledo Division of Building Inspection told On Call this afternoon that her division will contact Wurzelbacher to notify him that he can't work without a license.

Can we identify this "staff person"?

I am quite sure that no "staff person" is authorized to speak about licensing issues of a private citizen on behalf of the City of Toledo. Departments issue directives and not "staff persons".

Since no official spokesperson for the City of Toledo has come out and denounced this "staff person" I think Joe the Plumber may be able to pay cash for that business before this episode is over.

Are there any Tort lawyers in Toledo that want 33% of a slam dunk invasion of privacy and intentional interference in prospective business advantage lawsuit?

For anyone still looking for reasons to vote against Senator Government, here's a good one.

Because his supporters will be running the country.

“Unbelievable. If they keep this crap up, we really will be yelling “Kill [them]!” at rallies... “


Makes it easier for me to understand how the Roman Empire ended up with a large arena, where the enemies of the leadership were forced to fight wild animals to the death.

Even if Obama would win, and the liberals would get their way, they wouldn’t stay happy unless they were provided ‘scapegoats’ to have slaughtered.

This has nothing to do with Joe’s license or lack thereof. This has everything to do with what Obama said. It’s the old razzle dazzle... make Joe out to be a criminal and nobody will remember this is about Obama’s plan to punish the successful ‘Average Joe’ ..
