Rounds Asks South Dakotans to Share Their Federal Regulation Stories

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) today launched a new initiative to give South Dakotans an opportunity to share their stories about the impact federal regulation has in their work and on their daily lives. These stories will help Rounds determine where to focus his efforts to cut waste, fraud, abuse and overregulation by federal agencies.

“I continue to hear from South Dakotans who are being overwhelmed by federal bureaucracy and red tape,” said Rounds. “This will give them the opportunity to share their stories with me so I can better understand which agencies and regulations are in need of reform. For too long, unelected bureaucrats have made sweeping decisions with almost no oversight or accountability. This has led to complicated regulations that are unworkable for the American people. I have made it a priority in the Senate to reduce unnecessary and excess regulations to make government more effective, efficient and accountable. Hearing your stories will help me accomplish that goal.”

Those wishing to share their story can do so by emailing regulations_story@rounds.senate.gov. In addition to your story, submissions should include your name and hometown. You can read more about Rounds’ efforts to stop overregulation on his website at www.rounds.senate.gov.
