Come Meet Some (Alleged) Criminals!
On Monday, the Show-Me Institute will host another Show-Me Forum in Columbia, at which I will present a talk called “Economic Liberty and Occupational Licensing: If You Aren’t Outraged, You Haven’t Been Paying Enough Attention.” I’ll talk about the ways in which occupational licensing laws are being used and abused both in Missouri and nationwide. As a special bonus, we will have on hand five or six Missouri entrepreneurs that the state believes are criminals, simply because they failed to get the government’s permission before providing useful services to informed, willing consumers.
For anyone who can’t make it to the Show-Me Forum, consider tuning in to Mike Ferguson’s radio show on Monday afternoon between 4:20 and 4:40, when Mr. Ferguson will interview me and Mrs. Brooke Gray, an equine dentist who has found herself in the crosshairs of the Missouri Veterinary Medical Board.
