No to More Red Tape
 

We do not need additional red tape to deal witj in our profession. We already have to deal with Design Review Committees, Building Inspectors, Panning, Zoning, Civic Leagues, and home owner associations. Every locality varies in their requiremnets so we are constantly have to learn what everyone requires. Those of us that are small firms do not have the resources to spend on sitting in classrooms unless there is a benifit from doing so. Clients are already balking at the increased costs we have to pass along to them and this would be such an item. For myself, I already have to spend 2 to 3 days a month sitting in doctors offices due to my health and I can't spend all weekend working trying to catch if additional burdens are placed up us. This proposal needs to be rejected.
