White House Releases Plan 3,415 Regulations Thanksgiving

While Americans are focused on what delicious foods they’re going to eat for Thanksgiving, the White House is focused on releasing its massive regulatory agenda — marking the fifth time the Obama administration has released its regulatory road map on the eve of a major holiday.

The federal Unified Agenda is the Obama administration’s regulatory road map, and it lays out thousands of regulations being finalized in the coming months. Under President Barack Obama, there has been a tradition of releasing the agenda late on Friday — and right before a major holiday.

“It’s become an unfortunate tradition of this administration and others to drop these regulatory agendas late on a Friday and right before a holiday,”Matt Shudtz, executive director of the Center for Progressive Reform, told The Hill newspaper.

The White House’s regulatory agenda for spring 2014 was released on the eve of the Memorial Day weekend, when millions of people set out on weekend getaways or family vacations.

“It’s unfortunate because it’s an update on protections for Americans of all stripes,” Shudtz told the Hill. “It lays out the administration’s plan and it deserves more attention.”

We don't need any more ruttin' laws.., for crying out loud. There are enough laws and regulations existing, right now, to cover anything that could possibly occur., anything.
What is needed, instead, is to 'revisit' what we already have. Update, repeal or extend.
I would much rather hear about a representative trying to do something like this then to hear that they want a 'new law'.

Water laying in ditches considered wetlands is a big one and forcing landowners to maintain them costing big bucks.
