Tillis: Restaurant workers shouldn't be forced to wash hands after bathroom breaks

Congressional Republicans are challenging several health regulations, with one senator suggesting restaurants shouldn't have to make their employees wash their hands after bathroom visits. Such restaurants would have to prominently disclose their decision, and then would probably would go out of business, said newly elected GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina. But they should have that choice, he said. Tillis raised the issue when speaking Monday to the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington. Restaurant chains such as Starbucks should be able to skip obligatory hand-washing by workers, he said, "as long as they post a sign" and take other steps to alert the public. "Let them decide" such issues, Tillis said, adding: "That's probably one where every business that did that would go out of business. But I think it's good to illustrate the point, that that's the sort of mentality we need to have to reduce the regulatory burden on this country." Tillis defended his point in an interview Tuesday in the Capitol. "Sometimes there are regulations that maybe we want to set a direction, but then let those who are regulated decide whether or not it makes sense," he said. They might pay a huge price, he said, but "they get to make that decision versus government." Tillis' comments came as some Republican presidential hopefuls say parents are justified in sometimes having their children avoid vaccinations generally required for attending school. Vaccinations were not raised at his Monday event. But Tillis said Tuesday, "Vaccinations are important to keeping our kids safe, keeping our schools safe." Tillis, former speaker of the North Carolina House, ousted Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan in November. He played a key role in reducing state taxes and regulations in the state after Republicans took control of the government.

He’s a typical RINO IDIOT?

Tillis the first Senator from NC to get a minority of the primary and general voters.
46% and 49%.

Tillis gutted Everify in North Carolina.

He wanted to give driving cards to illegals. But that was too far even for his fellow RINOs.

Tillis was the most liberal Republican running for an open seat in 2014.

“#NCSEN: Tillis gives Rove credit for primary win “

“Our advertising was terrific,” Rove declared on the call, and Tillis gave credit to Crossroads for his victory, saying in his smooth drawl that the group’s “contribution can’t be overstated.” […]

They’ll be forced by the market to wash their hands. The market and the lawyers.

All the things wrong in this country and THIS is where this idiot focuses his attention?

Wait until there is a Hepatitis outbreak.
From butt to hands to food.

Good God.. Handwashing is the most effective way of preventing the spread of may communicable disease and this is where the GOP wants to get the government out of our hair?

Oh, and by the way...we are on Obamacare. Our deductibles are so high we cannot afford to see a doctor when ill.

He isn’t making himself look like a fool, the press is making him look like a fool, in an intentional and calculated matter. It doesn’t matter what actually comes out of his mouth; it will be given a negative spin or reported out of context. Just because of his party. Our side doesn’t need to help.
