Each city/county has now been given the authorization to issue their own. The judge, by extension, says they have the authority, right? (rhetorical) Gosh. No more state issued real estate licenses, contractor’s licenses, healthcare licenses. Yoohoo! (sarcasm, but not directed at you)
A senator has informed me an Appeal is being filed as of this morning, October 26, 2012.
