But hey, all of the other laws that michigan passed have been a boon to job growth, quality of life, business development, right? Good Christ, this is stupid. Obligate intermediaties are awesome.

Legislation requiring that anyone performing remodels in single family residences must be a licensed contractor has been passed. Apparently this was to protect lenders from risk of shoddy workmanship, but that supposes that all licensed contractors do quality work or can be held accountable to meet adopted standards. Do-it-yourselfers and owner-builders may now be working on their homes illegally. This is another example of going too far with a big hammer to solve one interest groups needs.
