The Oregon Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying have a legal monopoly on the word 'engineering' and define it so broadly that public criticism of traffic light timing falls within their definition of practicing engineering. So much as calling yourself an engineer without being licensed by the board is illegal in Oregon even if you have an engineering degree and years of experience in your field.
It's not legal under the constitution, but politicians and bureaucrats stopped following it long ago.
JEEZ!!!!.......that guy is fried!
Not if the District Court overturns the statute
I sure hope the Court do that....
