Extremely short sighted and sad to see that the towel has been thrown in. Mandatory E&O will spell the end of the experienced and sole proprietorship operations. I like many others have spent decades in the construction business and have forgotton more than the average graduate from a community college will ever know about construciton.
Mandatory E&O will, however, satisfy the conglomerates and the franchisers at the expense of the public. Sad day indeed to see that the big guys win and the small guys are forced out.
Shame on all involved.
