Au lieu de payer le chantage à l’état de Californie – $700 – Mike quitte son titre d’architecte-paysagiste. Au moins en Californie – pour la France…?
Mike let his landscape architect’s license expire rather than paying the state the new, improved fee of $700 (instead of $400). Business is tough in California, and we’re cutting expenses. And if you fight the law, the law wins, as the song goes.
We don’t technically need two licenses – one is enough and Annette’s license is current. Mike is still doing the same things as before, only working under Annette’s license. For now, at least.
