Pissin' In The Wrong Urinal

We all know Democrats are pro-environment and pro-union, what side will they take in this major conundrum?

PHILADELPHIA - This city's hoped-for bragging rights as home of America's tallest environmentally friendly building could go down the toilet.

In a city where organized labor is a force to be reckoned with, the plumbers union has been raising a stink about a developer's plans to install 116 waterless, no-flush urinals in what will be Philadelphia's biggest skyscraper.

Developer Liberty Property Trust says the urinals would save 1.6 million gallons of water a year at the 57-story Comcast Center, expected to open next year.

But the union put out the word it doesn't like the idea of waterless urinals — fewer pipes mean less work.

There it is--less water means less work for the plumbers union. I wish to go on the record and say that I stand in solidarity with the urinals. The city can't allow these union thugs to destroy the environment with their constant craving for more piping. Take a stand Donks and "progressives", this is a major issue. Think of the fish and the endangered horseshoe crabs for crying out loud!
