Rounds meets with business leaders in Sturgis

Our Founding Fathers intended for Congress to be the voice of the people, that was the message of Senator Mike Rounds at a roundtable discussion Tuesday morning with Sturgis business leaders.

Rounds spoke with local business leaders about what's going on in Washington and how it affects them.
He discussed new banking regulations and how it makes it more difficult for individuals to obtain a mortgage.

Rounds says we need to bring back the legislative process into Congress rather than having rules be made by unelected bureaucrats in Washington.

Rounds says, "You have to remember that this President has never had to sign a paycheck himself and in doing so he is very good about offering to give away other people's money or to have other people spend their money, but he's never had to come up with resources himself and so I think that's the part of the equation that's missing in this new rule that they're proposing to the Department of Labor."

Rounds also discussed his proposed Restore Act which would create a rules review process at the Federal level which he says is similar to systems that are in place in South Dakota's legislature.
