Economy | December 15, 2008

I am going to be appearing with Mark Kinsley on the KZRG 1310 AM morning show on Tuesday (that’s tomorrow) morning at 7:10 a.m. Mark has graciously agreed to put little ‘ol me on for the whole hour, to discuss my recent case study of occupational licensing. You can listen in online from the link above. Because the station broadcasts to both states included in the study, I think this is a great opportunity to talk about the points I make.

I appeared on the morning show with Mark and Kara once before, in February, to talk about tolls and transportation. I am delighted to be appearing again. I encourage you to listen in. They have a great show and we are honored to be a part of it.
