Is a tax increase. Don't do it.

For 3 years now I have watched bills sitting in limbo protecting our licenses. I know people that say they have licenses and no one cares, no one does anything about. It isn't worth itto go after them. These people will go on not paying any licensing fee (since they have no real license) and you want to double mine. I sure hope some one in Lansing sees the reality of this. By the way - where is that bill raising the penalities for claiming, and practicing,without a license (2007 House Bill 4937 & HB 3938(Increase criminal penalties for unlicensed architects )?? This bill includes other licenses beside architects.

They raised the CPA fees 150%. If I were younger I would leave this State (for more reasons than just this). It's time to clean house in Lansing. Check your rep's voting record, E-Mail them and then give them their rewards at the Polls.

Now more fees, taxes or any other creative theft of OUR MONEY. We don't need any more laws,
