This summer, newspapers across Ohio have featured NFIB and Small Businesses for Sensible Regulations coalition members leading the debate to modernize the U.S. regulatory system. Small Businesses for Sensible Regulations has called for principled reforms including added small business input, increased openness and transparency, more thorough cost benefit analysis, and regulations that are grounded in science and objective data. Below are some noteworthy excerpts from recent Ohio headlines: Ohio NFIB State Director, Roger R. Geiger: “NFIB and Small Businesses for Sensible Regulations have proposed principled reform measures including: increased business input; greater openness and transparency; more thorough cost benefit analysis; and regulations that are grounded in hard science and objective data as steps to improve our federal rulemaking process. Without a clear and unambiguous set of rules, business owners simply don’t have the confidence they need to move Ohio forward to a more prosperous future for all.” -(Cleveland Plain Dealer, 8/6/13) Ohio NFIB Leadership Council Member, Tracie J. Sanchez: “President Obama’s newly unveiled Unified Agenda, the official federal rule-making document for 2013, has more than 3,500 regulations in the federal pipeline with over 750 directly affecting small businesses. This complexity of different rules and regulations coming from Washington D.C. creates a climate of confusion and uncertainty for business owners… America will not become more competitive by out-regulating our competitors. It’s time for our elected officials in Washington make sensible regulatory reform a priority.” -(The Lima News, 8/8/13) Ohio NFIB Leadership Council Member, Albert F. Macre, CPA: “How can small business owners in Ohio possibly be expected to plan for the future if they don’t know what costs the federal government will impose on them next? And, don’t forget that each year it’s small business that creates two-thirds of the net new jobs and account for 50 percent of U.S. GDP. If Washington continues to handcuff small businesses with onerous and unaffordable new rules that seek to serve only special interests and increase the size of an already bloated federal bureaucracy, we will eventually see a reversal of this trend. Our federally elected officials must make modernizing the federal regulatory system a priority. It’s time for Washington to get out of the way.” -(Steubenville Herald-Star, 8/4/13) sensibleregulations.org/category/blog/
