Senator Tarr’s Statement on a Baker-Polito Three-Month Regulatory Pause

Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) released the following statement this week after Governor Charlie Baker and Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito announced a 90-day pause on all new regulations:

“The delays and costs of complying with overly burdensome regulations and permitting requirements represents one of the most frequently cited challenges to economic growth by those who create and maintain jobs. Halting the advancement of even more regulations so that their cost-effectiveness can be determined is an important step in developing a strategy to build a stronger, more robust economic recovery.”
