[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the owner of a small business start-up (approx. two years old), I also disagree with Ed Gillespie's ideas of what's discouraging new business formation. Local taxes, which he harps on a lot, are pretty trivial for me. The bigger issue is licensing and regulation, Virginia is full of all kinds of protectionist regulation designed to discourage new competitors from entering certain industries. Even though I'm based in Virginia, it's easier for me to do many kinds of work for clients in Maryland, and I can't swear I won't eventually relocate my business there.[/quote] An actually thoughtful response. What kind of regulations? I’m an attorney and had to re-sit for the Bar when we moved here. 15 years out of law school. There is no practitioners exam option, and VA does not have reciprocity with neighboring jurisdictions. So I can see this. But what are you thinking of?[/quote]
