Political Quotes

“small business is not alone in its support of this bill. The Dole/Johnston substitute will also help the farmer who cannot use products that good science shows have no risk to health. Small towns will have less to fear from arbitrary pronouncements from Washington. I have a letter from the National Association of Towns and Townships that has written me in particular support of the language in the bill pertaining to the judicial review of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. You see, these towns know that for too long, Government agencies have ignored the impact of regulations on small and rural communities. They are counting on this legislation to force Government agencies to obey the law and minimize the impact of regulations on small communities. The Dole/Johnston substitute will bring some much needed accountability to the faceless regulators sitting in their Washington office buildings cranking out the stream of new rules. It will also bring accountability to Congress, where some of the blame lies for those regulations. It brings sunshine and openness to the way the Government analyzes and talks about health risk, to give us a more honest discussion of the problems facing us. Finally, it brings some common sense to the decisions that the bureaucrats make.”
