The Smoky Mountain News reports that some landowners were unaware of “a law” requiring them to install CO detectors in certain rental properties.
Warren Putnam, Waynesville’s Code Enforcement Officer, said there’s no good way to get the word out about the new law.
OK, bureaucrats. It’s time to fill out your Corrective Action Reports. What will you do to reduce the risk of repetition of this threat to health and welfare? For starters, I recommend everybody registering all their anticipated jobs and hobbies with the state. The state can charge a $96.31 per-activity fee. (The number was selected by feeling about bad graphs and visuals.) Following each legislative session, persons wishing to live or do work in the state can be administered a test on all laws passed pertaining to their anticipated pursuits. Those failing to score at least 98% on the test will have their registration revoked for ten years, pay a $2000 fine, pay double to get their registration re-instated, and lose their citizenship status. Legislators, attorneys, accountants, anybody deemed needy of nepotistic favors, and criminals too scary to be approached by law enforcement will be exempt.
