I’m writing to you to ask you to please support the REINS Act. Supporting this bill means that elected politicians will have the final say in major pieces of legislation.
For too long unelected bureaucrats have been allowed to enact policy while circumnavigating the political process. This has allowed people’s personal political biases to disenfranchise us the voters. This has led to a higher cost of living for the taxpayers while government agencies profit.
By passing the REINS Act we can help keep Nebraska competitive and incentivize people to not only stay in the state but move here as well. It will also help spur economic growth by making sure that wasteful spending and unnecessary regulations don’t stunt development and don’t needlessly waste taxpayer money.
We believe that major pieces of legislation need to be decided by you the democratically elected representative, not unelected bureaucrats. The REINS Act will also ensure that the taxpayer’s money isn’t going to be needlessly wasted. If a certain policy or law has a great amount of economic, political or social influence then it deserves to go through the same level of scrutiny that all other major laws do.
Please support this bill to ensure the voters that they have the power not nameless and biased government officials.
