So, Nick. Are you going? This is the third meeting.

What for? This from the link I posted:

The meeting is a working meeting for the Board and is not open for public participation.

I suggest you "click here to read notice of hearing" and read it. It is a public hearing. I guess you are not interested. Months ago you stated that the third meeting was going to be the most important. Apperantly, the wellfare of the Kansas home inspectors means nothing to you. I am sorry. James is rubbing off on me.

Edit.

I would also like everyone's opinion on the "proposed" rules and regulations. Go to Nick's link above, and click on the "rules and regulations" in the bottom right. Every home inspector throughout the nation should read this. It is a great example how special interest groups and governments are taking away our freedoms. Looks like it will be an ASHI test all Kansas home inspectors will be asked to pass. Nick is out, and he does not want to participate. A great example on how he stands with all of us.

Also, would some define the word "psychometrically" sound, as the new rules state that "as evidenced by documented evaluation of the examination by an independent orginization."

I am quite sure that Mr. Barnes did not come up with that. Who did.

The meeting is closed to public participation. I don't have to go there to learn what they did without public participation.

Thanks Paul for getting the word to Nick. I guess he did not listen to my post. Again, click the links on that site on the right. Read the financials and the rules. Very frustrating. I hope that you, Nick, will also read them. I will definitly be there. I have also forwarded the site to Senator Brownlee in the hopes she might attend.

Another opportunity to have your voice heard and stop the bill from returning from the legislature has become available.

A 186 million dollar shortfall this year....and a project 1 billion dollar shortfall in 2010, has the governor looking to cut costs at every opportunity.

Why not start with the most stupid piece of legislation ever passed by a state congress?
