The latest news is that the Governator wants to end (or curtail, or reduce) licensure for landscape architects. This might save the state of California a bit of money, although we pay enough licensure fees to make up a good portion of whatever it costs to run the program. It’s not like we all get free trips to Rome with our fees or anything. We don’t even get lottery tickets.
Time will tell if not being a licensed professional makes any difference at all. Maybe the pols in Sacramento will change their minds and keep us around after all. Maybe they’ll group us with some other profession (like cheesemakers) so that one agency can oversee two professions. There was some talk about lumping us with architects, but we really are a separate profession, so I would prefer to hang out with California’s new breed of artisan cheesemeisters. They’re probably a lot more fun at the annual dinner (something we don’t even have, but maybe if they put us together…?)
Du hast diese gelesen, Herr Governator? Landschaft + Kasemeisters! Ja!
