The state says optometrists can't do surgeries, including ones they're trained to do - THE JOSIAH BARTLETT CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY

Good pro Optometry article.

For a second I thought this was a West Wing episode. :D
LOL, I wondered if the center was named after WW's Jed Barlet. But his name has only one T.
 
I assume they are referencing the Josiah Bartlett from New Hampshire who signed the Declaration of Independence.
Yup. I looked at the "About Us" page on the site. Non-partisan, non-profit site.
