Less Government, Lower Taxes and More Freedom -

It’s Wednesday in Olympia and I have several meetings today. Yesterday’s meeting of the Joint Administrative Rules Review Committee was very interesting. The purpose of the committee is to hear citizen petitions alleging an agency rule exceeds statutory authority. In addition to what would be a typical consistency issue, the Committee also has jurisdiction to consider the adequacy of an agency’s small business economic impact statement. This is a new committee for me and it only meets during the interim.
