For those who seem to have difficulty in grasping why it is inadvisable to relenquish control over our profession to the state, I give you the latest casualties - New York and Texas.

Here are two states where home inspectors actually felt comfortable with the idea of legislation and felt that it enhanced them. Then, as they bent over to pick up the soap....aaarrrgggghhhhhhh!!!!!!

Once you have given it up...you don't get it back. You just live from legislative session to legislative session, like living on the first floor of a two story outhouse, waiting to see what comes through the hole.

Licensing solves nothing.
