What PROFESSIONALINTERIORDESIGNER does not get (at least directly) is how eliminating certified ID’ers rights to compete with architects on certain state projects is actually reducing barriers to business- seems like it is limiting competition to me- but what do I know?

Reduce Barriers to Business:De-regulate Interior Designers and Landscape Architects
