It's an interesting situation and I'm curious how it all turns out given there was supposedly something on the books but now there isn't?
This has nothing to do with "liberals" though. Pretty sure OP doesn't give a hoot about hair braiding or licensing and was just stretching an article as far as he could to get the word "liberal" in there in a negative way.
Sooner or later, someone is going to lose their hair to an unlicensed braider -- and they'll sue the state for not having licensed them.
You figure one of these conservative entrepreneur's would figure out a way to open a school of hair-braiding, get it accredited like a 'beauty school', and find themselves in a pile of cash because anyone who wanted a state license would have to do through their program. C'mon. One of you must have a legislator or two in their back pocket.
Or, you know, the braiders could petition for redress.
If anyone is going to be touching me, whether it's a hair stylist, an acupuncturist, a podiatrist, manicurist or therapeutic massager, they had better have a license. A lot of things could go wrong.
I knew two people who had real problems when they got their ears pierced at an unlicensed shop. We're talking unsightly infections and one's possible need for reconstructive surgery if it continued. Fortunately, it stopped short of that. Though hair-braiding doesn't enter the body the way a piercing does, there are a great many issues that could arise, including the spreading of certain lice, scabies, or ringworm. Sure, maybe the braider follows great hygiene at all times, but how can you know he or she even knows what that is.
A few short classes and a license would improve their businesses as people prefer licensed operators..and isn't that what conservatives are all about?
If it has everything to do with liberals why did Ohio which is run lock stock and barrel by conservatives have done the same thing. In the link you gave in Ohio in 1998 the state legislature reformed the cosmetology laws creating a natural haircare license which was a way for the state of Ohio to legally get around a lawsuit against the state by hair braiders. Speaking of rent seeking it seems like when conservatives take over state and local legislatures there seems to be a major push for privatizing public assets and infrastructure such as roads, bridges, parking meters, for the explicit purpose of rent seeking. I guess rent seeking and cutting taxes for the corporate conglomerate rent seekers causing budget imbalances where there is no money to fund the rebuilding of infrastructure gives the justification to conservatives to sell off public infrastructure to corporate conglomerates.
