What?!
There is a major chance this contaminates the food. It is very likely that this thing is still dripping unless it was 100% perfectly wrung out, which I doubt, especially since the person using it was dumb enough to hold it above food. There's also the mentioned particulate falling off, which is pretty much a given if you're ever seen a McDonald's floor. Not to mention who knows what that mop was used for- an overflowing toilet in the bathroom, garbage water from a leaky trash bag, dog poop dragged in from someone's shoe.
I have mopped floors of restaurants. They are disgusting. And they most certainly do not use > good> mops. Restaurants cut corners wherever possible.
That is a lot of money for a state.
In Minnesota, we raised sales tax for a county of 1.2 million people for 20 years to pay $355 million for the Twins stadium.
This money could fund schools, or public transportation, or just tax cut for the people that actually need the money.
Increase the millionaire tax.
