Action | Tradesman Regulations - Regulatory Reform |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 10/25/2013 |
I am writing to you in reference to the Subject Regulatory Matter. As a Licensed Tradesman and Contractor, Tradesman Education Service Provider, and former Member and Chair of the Commonwealth of Virginia Board for Contractors, I support the proposed regulation changes and elimination of the requirement for Continuing Education. My reasons are as outlined below:
In closing, I feel compelled to quote from perhaps one of the most gifted individuals to hail from our beloved Commonwealth, Thomas Jefferson: “That government is best which governs least, because its people discipline themselves. If we are directed from Washington (heads of an organization) when to sow and when to reap, we will soon want for bread.”
I for one say it is time to stop our dependence on our government to tell us how to run our lives, our trades, and our businesses.
Trusting that my comments will be met favorably by the Board for Contractors, I wish all of you well, and remain,
Sincerely,
Robert M. Kirby, P.E.
