Comments
Is this supposed to be an example of limited government? I do not think we need the General Assembly to second-guess every administrative rule or regulation in the state. There is already a terrible power imbalance between the state government and the government closest to the people. Don't make it worse.
This has a bad smell to it and gives to much control to one group.
