T    OPPOSED TO ANY VET LICENSING FEE INCREASE for the following reasons:1) the average worker in today's economy is asked to do more with less, do the job of 1.5 to 2 workers with no pay inrease.   If that is the case in the private sector, should we not expect the same from our public sector?     2) My experience with license renewal by computer in this state has not been good.  Not only has the service been unreliable, but credit card numbers are not safe.  So unless these problems are resolved, I cannot see any reason to increase the fee.   3)  If you are attempting to use disciplinary or regulatory reasons ("to protect the public") to argue for the fee increase, I dont' have to look any further than the comments on this proposal.   What Ms.Carey describes appears clearly negligent and yet there was no board activity against the vet involved.  So how is this "serving the public" or protecting the profession?      You have not justified the fee increase, all you've shown it that you intend to provide the same poor service and charge more for it.
