As a professional engineer this pisses me off

The state of Florida wants to abolish the board of professional engineers and roll its function under the department of professional regulation - where they have no understanding of engineering. 

We are in the public trust and have to hold to a standard. They want to eliminate that standard. 

And why might they be doing this? At least in part as a favor to the insurance industry. PEs are often utilized in legal actions involving them - and they always contradict it with their own experts. With no regulatory board, the insurance company gets a big advantage.
