"Hey, Michigan's standards of issuance are significantly lower than ours, AND they have a major problem keeping their permitee database up to date, so we're not going to reciprocate with them. However, since (for example) New Jersey's standards are strict and their record-keeping good, we'll reciprocate with them. It's a standard-based system."

It took an intense media investigation of the situation in Michigan to bring the violations to light.

Do the people of State A have to wait for the media in State B to expose that state's illegal behaviour?
