Most people pay their barber based on whether they like their haircut, not on how many hours of "training" the barber was forced to sit through.
The claim that licensure reform lowers quality for consumers or wages for workers is a myth.
One thing I wish more people understood is that when you lower professional standards through "licensing reform," wages go down, and that's not a side effect - its the whole point.
If you want wage growth, be very wary of politicians who go after professional licensing.

Only 1 in 10 low-income MPS students graduate from high school with the ability to read at grade level.
@SenChrisLarson
thinks that giving more of those students the chance to attend a school where they can reach their full potential is a *bad* thing.
Monday, the Senate Education Cmte will hear testimony on a bill to massively expand private school vouchers.
The voucher lobbyists estimate 20k more slots would be added under this proposal. There is no scenario where this would not harm public schools.
I’ll be voting “no.”

Voter ID is safe, simple, and sensible.
You need an ID card to buy beer in Wisconsin, you should need one to vote too.
A new Republican proposal would amend the state constitution to require voters show photo ID.
The issue is expected to come before the new liberal-controlled state Supreme Court.
The proposal must pass through two consecutive Legislatures before going to voters for approval.
