Republican lawmaker warns that GOP reg measure would disable government
A former Republican lawmaker is warning that a GOP-sponsored bill coming under consideration would shut down the entire regulatory system, if its backers succeed in getting it passed.
Former Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.) said the measure is an indication of the “stranglehold” that the right wing of his party has on the Republican Congressional agenda.
“I wish that description were hyperbole, but it is not; indeed, it would be difficult to exaggerate the sweep and destructiveness of the House bill,” said Boehlert.
