Dawn Zimmer: “The fact is these agencies are not rogue organizations, they are creatures created by Congress and the executive branch.…”

On the recordMarch 2, 1995
The fact is these agencies are not rogue organizations, they are creatures created by Congress and the executive branch. And if we have problems with the substance of the regulations, we should modify the underlying legislation. The Porter amendment would make Federal regulators more sensitive to takings without creating a new entitlement and would protect private property owners because the takings assessment mandated by the Porter amendment would be available to property owners. In this respect it goes further than the Reagan Executive order. So we should not pass the buck to regulatory agencies.
