HOLLAND, Ohio (AP) - Joe the Plumber said Thursday he doesn't have a license and doesn't need one. Joe Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, the nickname Republican John McCain bestowed on him during Wednesday's presidential debate, said he works for a small plumbing company that does residential work. Because he works for someone else, he doesn't need a license, he said.

But the county Wurzelbacher and his employer live in, Lucas County, requires plumbers to have licenses. Neither Wurzelbacher nor his employer are licensed there, said Cheryl Schimming of Lucas County Building Regulations, which handles plumber licenses in parts of the county outside Toledo.

Wurzelbacher, who voted in the Republican primary and indicated he backed McCain, was cited by the GOP presidential candidate as an example of someone who wants to buy a plumbing business but would be hurt by Democrat Barack Obama's tax plans. Wurzelbacher said he was surprised that his name was mentioned so many other times.

"That bothered me. I wished that they had talked more about issues that are important to Americans," he told reporters gathered outside his home.


Wurzelbacher, 34, said he doesn't have a good plan put together on how he would buy Newell Plumbing and Heating in nearby Toledo.

He said the business consists of owner Al Newell and him. Wurzelbacher said he's worked there for six years and that the two have talked about his taking it over at some point.

"There's a lot I've got to learn," he said.

1. in other words, a certain broken-down John will remain out of order

2. And...

the reporter's name is "Seewer". Priceless.

3. This doesn't sound right to me

At least one of them must have a state issued license to get a business permit. If not licensed and they botched a plumbing job they would be in serious trouble. Another thing is the person who issued the state business permit would also be in hot water if work was not shipshape. Just saying...somebody has got their facts wrong here.

4. In AZ they would be arrested! Criminal to unstop w/o a license here!

7. The owner probably has a license.

Maybe Joe is getting paid under the table.

Every plumber I have ever used has had a license, and has showed it to me before starting any work.
