What debate?For those that missed it; formal education in the topic to be practiced is a requirement for legal classification as a professional (for b...

In a phased project, where there is no other reason for the easement in an unapproved as yet phase, wouldn't the certification have language accepting...

RIP JOBO, we loved you too!

No, it's not even an offer yet. The only way it could exist in any jurisdiction is if it was mandated by the municipality for some other use as a cond...

This is a great (although not uncommon) example of regulatory creep. Sure, it seems to make sense to have reviewers and MTS and reasonable regulatory...
