SPLITTING HAIRS OF INTERIOR DESIGNERS IN MISSOURI
Looks like the anti-regulationists in Missouri have targeted Interior Design and its usual license allies, Barbers and Cosmetologists. Missouri HB 590 was introduced to appease the neo-cons by clarifying that anybody can do interior design and cut hair as long as they do not hold themselves out as a “registered” interior designer or “licensed” barber…

Our 15 minutes is about up……..
Apparently the Institute for Justice’s challenge of the Florida Interior Design Practice Act will come down to a 15 minute oral argument;Why I have to hear about this from the Institute for Justice is beyond me.

Here We Go Again
Just imagine how much effort is being expended on both sides of the issue to fight for an occupational identity that most of society does not understand, if they even care. Is this really Uncle Sam’s responsibility to sort out?
