John Stossel Raises Important Topic: 'Tortured by Bureaucrats' and the Impact of Licensing

Did you know this about attorney Abraham Lincoln, who later became the President who led the effort that ended U.S. slavery?

In response to a specific inquiry by this writer for MHProNews and this Reality Check series for this Patch, left-leaning Google's AI powered Gemini said the following. This will be tied into the topic raised by columnist Jon Stossel.

Abraham Lincoln did not attend law school. Instead, he taught himself law through self-study and practical experience.

Here's how his path to becoming a lawyer unfolded:

Self-study: Lincoln read legal texts, most notably William Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England," which provided him with a foundational understanding of legal principles.
Practical Experience: He worked various jobs in New Salem, Illinois, such as a shopkeeper and postmaster, which helped him develop skills relevant to a legal career. He also began to practice law informally by working on cases and assisting others with legal matters.
Admission to the Bar: In the 19th century, formal law school education was not a requirement to practice law. Instead, aspiring lawyers like Lincoln would typically study under established lawyers or "read the law" on their own. Lincoln was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1836 after being declared to be of "good moral character" and likely undergoing an oral examination by the Illinois Supreme Court.

In essence, Lincoln's journey to becoming a lawyer was built on self-education, determination, and gaining practical experience through assisting others and eventually practicing formally. He formed partnerships with other lawyers, such as John Todd Stuart and William Herndon, and built a reputation as a successful attorney.

Part I

Commentary
Tortured by Bureaucrats

John Stossel | August 03, 2025

Americans like licenses. People think they make us safer.

We license drivers.

We license dogs.

But most government licensing is useless. Or harmful.

It limits competition, raises costs, leaves consumers with fewer choices, and blocks opportunity for people who want to work.

Michelle Freenor, a tour guide in Savannah, Georgia, gets good reviews from customers.

But her business almost didn’t get off the ground because local politicians said, “No one can be a tour guide without first getting a government license!”

Bill Durrence, a Savannah alderman at the time, told me why it’s important.

“I hear a lot of tour guides saying things that make me cringe. The licensing and testing I thought was a good idea just to make sure people had the accurate information.”

While they were at it, the politicians added other requirements. Anyone who wanted to give tours had to get a criminal-background check, which included urine and blood samples, take a physical fitness test, pay fees to the city, and pass a difficult history test.

“A college level history exam with tons of obscure, gotcha questions,” Freenor told me, “It could be three to five months of studying and studying. It was 120 pages!”

Ironically, the test asked no questions about subjects covered by the most popular Savannah tours—ghost tours and “Forrest Gump” tours (the movie’s bench scenes were filmed in Savannah).

Freenor complained to a city official: “There’s no ghost questions on this test!”

His response: “Ghosts aren’t real.”

Why would a city pass rules that block people merely from speaking?

“The city was making a nice amount of money for people failing this,” said Freenor.

When I confronted Alderman Durrence about this, he admitted, “There were a couple of points that maybe went a little too far in the licensing process. Having to have the physical exam periodically. Maybe the cost of the test.”

But he’s a big fan of regulation. “Little by little,” he said, “we’ve managed to get control of some things, but we still don’t have control over a lot.”

What? They control much too much!

With the help of the libertarian law firm the Institute for Justice, Freenor sued Savannah and won.

Now Savannah has no licensing rule.

Washington, D.C., killed its rule after IJ sued, too.

IJ also won in Philadelphia and Charleston, where a court ruled that the rules were unconstitutional because, as IJ attorney Robert McNamara put it, “The First Amendment protects your right to speak for a living, whether you’re a journalist, a comedian, or a tour guide.”

Good point.

My point is we don’t need most of these complex consumer protection laws. Competition alone protects customers.

Freenor says it well: “The free market is taking care of itself. Bad tour companies don’t last.”

Exactly. A competitive market helps consumers much more than licensing laws ever will. If such laws were once needed (they weren’t), they definitely aren’t needed now that the internet exists, because it’s so easy for consumers to learn about what’s good and what’s not.

But politicians always want more control over us.

Eight years have passed since the Institute for Justice fought Freenor’s case. Despite their victories in court, cities like New Orleans and my home New York City still have tour guide licensing rules. New York guides are told to pass a 150-question exam.

Many tour guides ignore the rules, knowing bureaucrats are not likely to enforce them.

That expands the “illegal” underground economy, inviting actual harm.

Government’s rules almost always have nasty unintended consequences.

Licensing bureaucrats should regulate much less.

We’re supposedly free people.

It should be up to us how we spend our money.

We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.

Part II

According to the Institute for Justice.

Michelle Freenor, is a licensed guide and has earned excellent online reviews. Meanwhile, Michelle’s husband Steven Freenor

Tour guides are storytellers, and in America, you shouldn’t need a license to tell a story.

But, for years, tour guides in the city of Savannah, Georgia were required to obtain a government permission slip before they could tell their stories—and unlicensed storytelling risked fines of up to $1,000, 30 days in jail or even forced participation in a municipal “work gang.”

To obtain a license to guide a tour in Savannah, aspiring guides had to pass a 100-question multiple choice exam that might have nothing at all to do with the subject of their tour, had to pay an annual licensing fee and had to undergo a criminal background check. Tour guides were even required to undergo a physical exam by a doctor to determine whether they were sufficiently healthy to exercise their First Amendment rights. Yes, in Savannah, the government could declare a tour guide too unhealthy to talk.

To challenge these requirements, a group of Savannah tour guides joined with the Institute for Justice to file a federal lawsuit. The group sought to vindicate a simple principle: Tour guides are storytellers, and the government can’t be in the business of deciding who is (or is not) allowed to tell stories.

In response to IJ’s lawsuit, Savannah’s City Council voted in October 2015 to repeal the City’s tour guide licensing law. One member of the City Council explained his decision to repeal the law, stating that “when you come up against the U.S. Constitution, you lose.”

Although Savannah’s licensing law was repealed, the guides’ court challenge continued with a federal judge finally issuing a decision in May 2019 holding that the mandatory license was unconstitutional.

However, that decision did not resolve the challenge to a separate provision charging tour guides a special tax just for speaking. Savannah charges tour guides a set fee for every member of their audience-penalizing guides just because people want to hear what they have to say.

Per a Q&A with this writer and Gemini. "When did liscencing for various professions start in the U.S.? When did they grow in numbers at the local, state, or federal levels?"

Professional licensing in the United States has a long and varied history, with significant growth occurring in different time periods for different professions and levels of government.

Here's a breakdown of the key periods and trends:

Early History (pre-Civil War to late 19th Century)

Limited Scope: Early in U.S. history, licensing was very limited. Only a handful of professions, such as doctors, lawyers, and ship pilots, had licensing requirements that were focused on quality rather than just a tax.
Initial Growth: In the late 19th century, the push for professionalization led to an increase in licensing, particularly in the medical field. By 1907, Wyoming became the first state to require engineers to be registered, and by 1950, all states had similar requirements.

Explosive Growth (post-1950s)

State Level: The most significant growth in licensing occurred at the state level after the 1950s. The percentage of the U.S. workforce covered by state licensing laws grew from less than 5% in the 1950s to over 20% by 2000. This growth was largely due to the creation of new licensing laws for a greater number of occupations, rather than just an increase in the number of people in already-licensed professions.
Federal and Local Levels: While most licensing is handled by state agencies, licensing also occurs at the federal and local levels. The combined effect of state, federal, and local licensing brought the total percentage of licensed workers to an estimated 29% in 2006.

The growth of licensing has been attributed to a combination of public safety concerns and the desire of professional associations to limit competition and raise wages for their members. The trend has shifted from primarily regulating high-risk, complex jobs to also regulating lower-risk, less complex ones.

MHProNews notes that Gemini essentially said that this practice raised costs for consumers. Because 'limiting competition' and protecting 'members' means higher costs for Americans of all backgrounds.

Stossel and the Institute for Justice (IJ) have spotlighted this topic. Rightly so. It is part pattern of increasing governmental intervention on citizens that began to gain momentum in the early 20th century, and even more so since the 1950s, per Gemini.

There is a need to return to the understanding of what the proper role and limits of governmental power are in America. The more you know, the more you can support the efforts of those who are trying to correct the various missteps that occurred that have raised the cost of living while most Americans pay have failed to keep up in recent decades.

We plan a special report in the coming days. Stay tuned.

There is always more that could be said. We hope this "Reality Check" series for this Patch and in our deeper dive reports on MHProNews and MHLivingNews bring you both practical and useful insights. Thanks for checking in.
