IS IT TRUE? January 25, 2012
IS IT TRUE that there are many issues of substance to dominate the hearts and minds of the Indiana Legislature during the 2012 session?…that with very important thing of lasting importance like Right to Work and a Statewide Smoking Ordinance on this year’s agenda that when someone introduces a bill that just defies logic and wastes the precious time of out legislative session to drag issues that were working perfectly well before up for another round of idiocy?
IS IT TRUE that the bill that is in the legislature right now that defies well thought out logic of the past is the legislation known as House Bill 1006 that seeks to make a number of professions so easy to enter that all is needed is a pulse and a nominal fee?…that among other professions that require a credential from an accredited institution followed by a training period similar to an apprenticeship is the profession of haircutting or for those who prefer to get fancy about it a coiffure?…that to truly master the profession of hairdressing requires a knowledge of chemicals, sharp objects, and annual training to stay current with the knowledge required to do a safe job on peoples hair?
IS IT TRUE that to do curl altering procedures the discipline to read and master such techniques takes adherence to laboratory standards and a dedication to the health and safety of clients?…that the people who already have established salons would be put at a competitive disadvantage if training and credentials are eliminated as requirements to enter this profession?…that if HB 1006 is passed any Tom, Dick, or Sally could just put out a sign in the front yard and become a hairdresser or a barber?…that even those of us that just dial up the #3 and do a buzz cut need to be able to count on the credential of the haircutter to do things like clean the equipment, have the knowledge to operate the tools, and be able to get the buzz done without cutting us?
IS IT TRUE that HB 1006 is a nuisance piece of legislation, undermines the professionalism and business equity of a large number of existing businesses, and is just asinine from a perspective that reduces grooming humans to the level of mowing the grass?…that we at the City County Observer while maintaining an attitude that less government is usually the best government just cannot bring ourselves to accept what is proposed in HB 1006?…that we encourage the abandonment of this bill and hope to see our elected officials get on with doing their jobs and getting their butts into their seats to vote on the more important bills before the State of Indiana this year?
IS IT TRUE that this writer has enjoyed his visit back to Evansville to pick my wife and our belongings and will be starting the 2,000 mile trek back to Palm Springs tomorrow?…that Karen and I will need to be back by noon Sunday because we have been invited to be VIP guests at a Polo Club Wine and Polo Event Party?…that neither of us has ever seen a polo match before and all we know about polo is that it involves horses which we appreciate very much?…that we are looking forward to the champagne and divot stomping tradition but are mostly looking forward to being entertained and sharing the story about Thurston Howell IV and the Evansville Polo Grounds that the CCO did a humorous story about last year to make fun of the foolish proposal to spend $18 Million on 8 little league baseball fields?…that we do not intend to lose our Midwestern and Southern practicality and love for that which is real while living in the land of polo and champagne?

RE: HB1006
:sarcasm:
I need the government to protect me from an unskilled hair stylist because I cant do it myself!
:/sarcasm:
Why do people want the government to be involved in everything?
Joe, we will miss you and your family very much. Now, go solve the world’s energy issues and maybe find a way to help us with Vectren back home. God Bless you and yours.
Progressives will be progressives…
Are we really to think that someone that can’t fathom getting a buzz cut by someone that hasn’t taken a government issued clipper training… will actually stand against the high cost of regulation in energy?
Is it true… “this writer” is turning full blown overt progressive?
Is it true… something in the water in California does that to people?
This bill includes eliminating permit requirements for private detectives also. How would you like to see any Tom, Dick or Harry suddenly become Dog the Bounty Hunter with absolutely no training or accountability?
I believe that what you mentioned has to do with a comment regarding the Super Bowl. It’s all about security guards being from out of state and not having Indiana licenses. But in overturning this bill so that these guards could work for three days, lots of other professions get screwed.
Ah Joe
Your fortunes and adventures are sure to continue.
It is this readers’ pleasure to witness your success.
Here’s to you! ~clink~
Current PI and former law inforcement. If this passes ever pedophile will have a card showing he is a PI and should be allowed to take pictures in the park and school yard.
I am a student at Empire Beauty School at Indianapolis and we were all outraged and flabberghasted that such a bill would be proposed but we pulled our big girl panties up and jumped on facebook and achieved a whopping 28,000+ signatures on a petition that someone had created against this bill and now it has been eradicated….
