What I learned today …
According to Elaine Chao, Secretary of Labor in the present Bush administration:
“There are more words in the Federal Register describing OSHA regulations than there are words in the Bible. They’re a lot less inspired to red and a lot harder to understand. This is not fair.”
The quote appeared in 25 April 2007 New York Times article chronicling the evisceration of the regulatory responsibilities of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in favor of voluntary industry compliance agreements.
Words fail me.
