I would like to question the motivations by our WWWOOSP Board in seeking modification to 18VAC 160-20-10 "Direct Supervision".  The idea of a professional seeking career advancement is one critical to the safety, health, and welfare of the Commonwealth.

Watering down the definition has many unintended consequences that will not be realized for some time.  It seems irresponsible to the public trust and should be given additional consideration.  

Given the recent events at the Dan River Coal Ash spill, I would hope that this Board consider how,  1) Competence             2) Personal Judgement and 3) Accountability plays in "direct supervision" while protecting public health and public resources of the Commonwealth.
