Free State Foundation President Randolph May issued the following statement reacting to Chairman Carr's new deregulatory initiative:
I commend Chairman Carr for undertaking this deregulatory effort, and I'm optimistic it will bear fruit in eliminating hundreds of existing regulations that no longer should be on the books and that actually inhibit new entrants from competing. It's undeniable that technological developments over the last several decades have enabled marketplace competition that has rendered legacy regulations unnecessary and often burdensome and costly. This is not good for consumers or for the American economy. Some good progress was made in this regard during Ajit Pai's chairmanship, but there's much more work to be done, as Chairman Carr realizes.
