Shutdown halts federal regs

“We’re very pleased that the Obama administration’s ongoing efforts to wreck the U.S. economy with more and more heavy-handed and colossally expensive regulations has been put on hold,” said Myron Ebell, director of the right-leaning Competitive Enterprise Institute’s energy and environment center.
 
“By and large, the people writing those regulations and trying to get them promulgated are not in the office,” he said.
