This action will actually reduce the number of PE's in the state and therby reduce VA state income
 

Less people will be inclinced to keep up their PE becuase of the added financial and time burden of taking continining education.  The yearly cost of keeping a PE in the VA has gone up al lot over the last few years it seems.  The last thing we need is MORE money out of our pockets.

So what will happen is that less poeple will be PE's, and consequentally the state will get less revenue..the state will then in turn raise the yearly rates to make up the difference, and the rest of us will suffer.

Really a lose/lose situation

Please vote no.
