More on the Portable Restroom Inauguration Issue
Washington D.C. Operator Member,
Don's Johns, faced frustration as their
logos were being taped over in
preparation for Donald Trump's
presidential inauguration last week.
We mentioned last week how
Operator Member Don's Johns found
it odd that the Architect of the Capitol
office had called fo r tape to be
placed over their logo in preparation
for the presidential inauguration – an
event they had serviced in 2009 and
2013, as well as 2017. Robert Weghorst, C.O.O. for Don's Johns, appeared on CNBC last week to
discuss the interesting issue, where he also was able to educate the anchors and viewers on some of the
requirements of the portable sanitation industry. There is an unavoidable commercial as the video
begins, but click below to view the clip!
