Comments
Dear Del. Webert,
I want to express my qualified support for HB 244 which seeks to limit paperwork in state government. I'm qualifying my support because I wonder whether by setting up another program (the Regulatory Budget Pgm.) the bill simply increases red tape by adding staff, bureaucracy, and expense to the taxpayer.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Albin
