Bump for pure retardation.

As an electrician, i am not sure if i have ever seen an electrical panel within 3 feet of a mop sink, in a janitors closet. I am sure that room gets crowded with stuff like carts, cleaning supplies...

Seems like someone didnt do their homework.

Since when is a janitors closet tiled in marble or finished granite?

Who called the Associated Press about this silly issue?

When it's the taxpayer taking care of the renovation bill.

The intelligence of 'lawmakers' shines through yet again. SMFH.

But electrical and building codes are for everyone except the government, didn't you know? I mean they exempt themselves because THEY are the ones who write the code

When it is in the state capitol

Was there an altar for sacrificing virgins and children in the room too?

Oh I hope so!

As a construction worker: if there is any job I don't mind OSHA or permit regulators, is on their own jobs. They don't care flat-out. My dad snuck me and my brother into the FBI building downtown(in a greenlee) so we could install carpet. But you have to do week long background checks... Not when they need the job done.

Can anyone actually cite the electrical code this violates?

I think it is a bad idea but not sure it is against code. It appears to have all of the necessary code clearances. There are codes against panels in bathrooms in dwelling units but this is neither.

Clearly, the idiots in the TN legislature have never worked as a janitor nor been in the military. Mop sinks are common in commercial and military buildings.

Perhaps a requirement to either serve in the military, or have verifiable employment in janitorial work should be necessary for political office.

A part time job at McDonald's as a teenager qualifies. McDonald's, no matter where you go, always has clean bathrooms. For that reason alone, I like McDonald's.

You know it! Just pull the panel down.
