Here is the link to the story Missourinet did last week about my occupational licensing study. I appreciated Steve Walsh taking the time to do the interview. Combest picked it up at the time, bless his little heart. …
I also want to thank Greg Rennier and John Schultz for having me on the Eagle 93.9 in Columbia over the holidays, to talk about the study and licensing. The interview is not online, so I can’t link to it, but it was great to be on the show with them.
