I spend a lot of time with government agencies. They do not have a high opinion of our industry.

What if the industry itself self regulated. What if the industry came together and said, hey, wait a minute, if we let the government come in and "clean up" our industry, then they will kill mosquitoes with an elephant gun ... we had better do it ourselves ...

Oh, wait a second ... this is the Detailing Industry ... and that will never ever happen!

So it is by our lack of action that this will occur!

Maybe some could join the IDA, pay only $50 and petition the leadership to put these environmental compliance issues on the front burner ... I am tired, and have given up on that.

I simply suggest that one should not blame the government, and would encourage self examination of the individual and the industry.

PS In some regards, I am starting to get comfortable with this. It renders my competition irrelevant, and makes it very easy to rapidly expand my locaitons.
