BP: The city of Washington, DC, is taking drastic measures to ensure that no restaurant in the city uses plastic straws, spending $60,000 per year to pay a “plastic straw cop” to monitor restaurants which stray from the rules.
D.C. Department of Energy and Environment inspector Zach Rybarczyk, the city’s hand-picked straw monitor, has been patrolling area restaurants to ensure their straws are paper and not plastic ever since the city’s plastic straw ban went into effect at the beginning of January, the Washington Post reported Monday.
Rybarczyk’s services do not come cheap. According to a document on salary information from D.C.’s Department of Human Resources, Rybarczyk takes home $60,472 per year as an environmental protection specialist and has been on the D.C. government’s payroll since April 2017. more
DC, like most democrat metropolitan shitholes, have numerous straw workers that don’t go to work, perform no duties for a large paycheck.
It’s called patronage or commonly “ghost employees” who are politically connected or working on democrat initiatives and campaigns. Taxpayers get the pleasure to pay people’s government salary that work against their interests.
The scourge of humanity is being eliminated, one state at a time! Thank goodness! Straws everywhere, polluting our streams and rivers, leading young minds astray, enticing criminals to traffic in these threats to our safety!
We dreamed of a straw-free world and now it’s happening!

Does he get to carry a badge, gun and taser? Is he considered non-essential if DC has a shutdown (never happen!).
…adds a new dimension to the term “Straw Boss”, nicht wahr?
…And does this mean that Democrats won’t have “Straw polls” any more?
…How are they going to “draw straws” to determine who’s going to tell Hillary she’s NOT the candidate of choice this year?
That’s the LAST straw! Literally…
…I’m sure that Democrats keep straws for THEMSELVES. Need SOMETHING to be able to toot enough cocaine to come up with crap like THIS…
Wearing a Straw Hat is a Death Sentence.
Doctor: “Sorry Son, Your Jaw is broken, and due to Our Harsh Straw Laws
You’re going to starve to Death”
Paper straws were good for shooting spit balls when I was in Elementary school back in the early to mid 60’s. They didn’t have plastic straws then.
If you have the temerity to still use sraws then you can expect a visit from authorities….Just ask Roger Stone.
I wonder which city official he’s related to?
Will they extradite me to dc if i send straw cop 5000 plastic straws from costco annomously?
Add in a benefits package, city car, computer, other supplies/equipment, the position really costs well over $100,000 per year. Not counting costs of prosecuting offenders.
If I lived there, I’d spend my days standing outside restaurants passing out free straws to customers as they walked in. That’s how I roll.
Good opportunity to choke some poor negro to death for surreptitiously selling “onesie” straws to folks who don’t like to incline their sodas.
Nothing good’s gonna come out of this.
Or he’ll just stay home (or at the bar, or at the whorehouse) and send in phony reports like the roof inspectors were doing a couple of years ago.
