Koch works to end occupational licensing...

Here's just one of the deep pockets those of us in licensed states are going to or are facing:

From the Washington Post-https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-202/2019/01/28/daily-202-the-koch-network-donor-retreat-turns-touchy-feely/

-- Instead of giving politicians a platform, organizers showcased several regular people with sympathetic personal stories in an effort to humanize the issues they’re focused on. Last June, for example, Trump commuted the life sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother in her 60s from Tennessee who has been serving a life term since 1996 for nonviolent, first-time drug offenses. The president acted after reality TV star Kim Kardashian West brought the case to his attention. The Koch network had been highlighting her case for some time, and she thanked the donors for their support in a speech. “I’m the living proof that second chances work,” Johnson said, fighting back tears. “One thing I know for sure is that people don’t remember statistics, but they remember a face.” The crowd responded with a standing ovation.
The Koch network also flew in Melony Armstrong, an African American woman from Mississippi who wanted to braid hair but didn’t have a cosmetology license. The Koch network has made her the face of its effort to relax occupational licensing laws across the country. Armstrong received training from the network, and it deployed significant resources to successfully change the laws in her home state in 2017. Nebraska last year and Ohio this month passed similar bills after Koch lobbying.
