Why can't NJ learn from CA that not only is it wrong to inhibit freelancing in the 21st century it hurts individual independent contractors who are more likely to be female and of color. In addition the race to get an exemption from the legislators favors professions that are wealthier and more politically savvy. Stop the madness now! Republican Senator Jon Bramnick needs to block all exemptions to put pressure on NJ to repeal this law.

Indeed, New Jersey needs to learn from California's mistakes. It's enraging at this point that we still have to fight this madness.

This process of creating all these carve-outs is absolutely ridiculous. Not only does it favor professions that can afford a strong lobbying effort and leave everyone else hung out to dry, but it's also just incredibly inefficient government. Why are taxpayers spending so much money on lawmakers micromanaging umpteen individual exemptions? Surely there are more pressing issues. Just ditch the whole IC reclassification nonsense and move on already! It's OK to admit it was a bad idea...in fact, voters will respect you more for admitting it!
