Examiner Editorial

Can you guess who spoke the following words last week?

“We have become somewhat troubled by a growing disconnect between Washington and the business community that is harming our ability to expand the economy and grow private-sector jobs in the U.S. We see a host of laws, regulations and other policies being enacted that impose a government prescription of how individual industries ought to be structured, rather than produce an environment in which the private sector can innovate, invest and create jobs in this modern global economy. In our judgment, we have reached a point where the negative effects of these policies are simply too significant to ignore.”
