Date: September 30, 1985 <br /> To: Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> From: Marcia Hawk, practitioner of Massage Therapy and resident/ <br /> landowner in Orange County <br /> I am sorry I am unable to be present at this meeting tonight <br /> due to a prior committment. Thank you for listening to my com- <br /> ments in this statement form. <br /> I would like to encourage you to set the one time $75 fee <br /> for massage therapists at a lower level:: I understand that there <br /> is some concern that money will have to be spent on investiga- <br /> tions to determine when and where prostitution is occuring. <br /> As a massage therapist, I do not feel responsible for the <br /> fact that prostitutes attempt to disguise themselves as members <br /> of my profession. I don't think I should be made to bear the <br /> costs of the necessary investigations. Surely, it does not make <br /> sense to single massage therapists out as being connected with <br /> such crimes. As a society we must all bear the costs involved <br /> in the investigation of crimes. Meanwhile, massage <br /> thera- <br /> pists should be charged a fee that is commensurate with those <br /> charged other professionals. <br /> PJLeM.'tQnt 4( 56- <br /> eie0 <br /> 1/41.0:481150.-tr <br />
