Ted Yoho Makes the Case Against Federal Regulations

U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho showcased his support of the Achieving Less Excess in Regulation and Requiring Transparency (ALERRT) Act on Thursday after it passed the Republican-controlled House. The measure looks to scale back federal regulations. Yoho weighed in on how federal regulations are hurting his North Florida district.

Overregulation from the federal government is killing small businesses and hurting job growth across America, Yoho said. All over North Florida, folks tell me story after story of ridiculous rules that have hurt not only their ability to hire, but stay in business. I often ask business owners if they would be able to restart their business today given the current regulatory environment. The answer seems to get more depressing each time I ask. As co-chair of the Freshman Regulatory Reform Caucus, I support this legislation and urge the Senate to take action so that we can get Americans working again.
