| Natasha Lima-Younts can't see how she's putting anyone's life at risk. She's been an interior designer for more than 20 years. She started her own business, and hired dozens of employees. She has an extensive portfolio and magazine features about her work. What she doesn't have is a state license. That doesn't bother Yount's client Angie Stoeker, who loves what Younts has done with her home, but it does bother those who push for licensing laws. |

Proponents of such state licensing say they do it for public safety. They also say that unlicensed interior designers put lives at risk. Put lives at risk? Interior designers? Really? |

State licensing is a barrier to entering the profession and a de facto union.
Licensing should be minimal and only exist for professions which puts life and/or liberty of others at serious stake. |
