Some of the best things being done in Michigan are the repeals of huge numbers of licensing laws. Just the other day a law requiring “City Planners” to be licensed was repealed.
A useless license for a useless job that could better be handled by the lowly unlicensed people themselves.
I applied to be on a city commission for roads and development. I argued, and eventually got on, that as an engineer and facilities designer, I better understood traffic and layout than people whose qualifications were “previously in city planning department” and “former city council member”.
I was often the only NO vote on their budget, mostly for wanting to go into debt for beautification and unnecessary projects with matching federal funds, when we had highway access roads that needed to be fixed.
