House hearing covers role of regulation

摘要

Washington - The debate over regulation and its effect on the economy continued during a Feb. 1 House Education and the Workforce Committee hearing that primarily focused on job creation, but often veered into the toll that government rules - such as OSHA standards - take on companies. Kellie Johnson, president of Torrance, CA-based manufacturer Ace Clearwater Enterprises, testified that her company spends more than $150,000 on consulting firms and a labor attorney to help navigate federal regulations.
