but let us remember, we are always dealing with People and they are in the predicament
because of a lack of education.

Let us also be kindly affectioned towards them because they just don't know and let's teach them
what's really going on.

That's just called Love.

The Surety Information Office, nice place to learn how to do business like they do....! I just recieved all my free goodies in the mail. Tells you all the "how to" you want to know...bonds everything you do, there's your insurance!

Absolutely right!!

Hey just a little issue that has come up to proof the lies behind the licensing of a right to work.

My cousin is a licensed contractor in New York, he was hired by someone who uses a DBA as a designer and "supposedly" should be licensed to do what he does.

Well, the designer hired my cousin and engaged in contract with him to do a job for the owner of a house (third party). Now the designer did not like some of the finish (which to my opinion came out bitchin) and withheld some of the money from my cousin. My cousin say **** it, keep it!

This designer guy went to the Buffalo’s contractor’s board and put a claim against my cousin about him not finishing the job right. The board called my cousin and told him he had to make it right with the guy. After a couple of days the board call my cousin to ask him why he did business with this designer since the designer was not licensed.

They told my cousin he cannot do that, but he is still liable to fix the problem with the designer. Now my cousin is facing some issues with the state board for going into a contract with an unlicensed designer. And he's got to finish the job to the designer's satisfaction.
He is still going to get reprimanded.


I guess the designer is not the board’s bitch so they can’t touch them.

And my cousin is going to get lubed for not listening to me on not getting a license to work

ok, i'm gonna summary what i aw a few days ago that might help:

an agent for a govt municipal (such as the board which is bothering your cousin) only has jurisdiction to interface with him where the contract or word-to-be-done is FOR the corp of which the board is part of, ie, work on the local school.

So, if your cousin isnt doing that kind of work, which he clearly isnt, then the board has NO jurisdiction over him in this particular job.

It's the exact same kind of argument that Kitchie makes with the agent-military-police when she demands to see his license and he says, "I have one but it's home because i'm not currently doing anything IN commerce at this time"!!

comprehend?

technically you are right and do not need a license...but working without a contractors license; you are going to have to set precidence and fight city hall. whoever has the most money and smarts will win.

Tomorrow we are handing in a petition to force a vote on a local multi-county jail.

We have three openings on our City Commission, with one being the Mayor. We have three people running with a legitimate shot at winning. If we get all three in we can make some positive changes. There are only 5 seats on the commission.

Election is June 13th. We also forced a vote on the county taking an elected position and making it an appointed one.

I am attaching our latest newsletter that explains some of what is going on in our town.

Stand up and be heard!

You may want to check the state's law on the issue. It could very well be that the city is trying to get some additional tax money in the guise of "licensing" in an area the state has already pre-mpted.

Mutt, that has all been covered here in the past. I know that this is a very long with over 200 posts. Some day when you have some "extra" time check them out.

Until then here is brief summary.

The city was proposing changing all the building codes in our town. Local licenses, Hitler like rules and codes. We organized a group of local people and fought them and won. Since then we have stayed together and have been fighting the city, county and even the state on other issues where they are overstepping their bounds.
