What State Lawmakers Can do to Push Back Against Unaccountable, Unelected Bureaucrats

Rep. Brian Harrison of Texas served as a political appointee in both the George W. Bush and Trump administrations. As Chief of Staff at the Department of Health and Human Services, he worked hard to fight back against the regulatory state.He tells ALEC TV that one of the most effective tools is to have “sunset” measures in place. Rep. Harrison is bringing those ideas to state government. “For every one law that Congress duly enacts, 20 regulations go out from the executive branch that carry the full force of law,” Harrison said. “It is a complete travesty and anathema to the system our Founders created.”
