Red Tape

Quotes from Governor Mitt Romney on Red Tape

“With nearly half of the Massachusetts workforce employed by small businesses, we can not have government creating regulatory mazes that hamper the growth of small businesses. This Executive Order will protect and fortify the Commonwealth’s small businesses by giving them a voice in the regulatory process.” Governor Mitt Romney. Source: 09-25-2003 Press Release

“The numbers are clear. Small businesses are not just apart of our economy. They are the engine of economic growth and innovation.” Governor Mitt Romney. Source: 09-25-2003 Press Release

“In order to put Massachusetts back to work, the most important thing that government can do is to create the right environment for economic expansion and job growth. This order is one important way we can bring economic development and jobs to Massachusetts.” Governor Mitt Romney. Source: 09-25-2003 Press Release

“Throughout this process, we have been guided by a desire to simplify our health and human services agencies to better serve recipients. Rather than requiring families to navigate the current red tape jungle, we are consolidating functions to better help those who cannot help themselves,” Romney said. Families requiring HHS services now face a confusing alphabet soup of state agencies to access the help they need.
