In 2021, Virginia was named our nation\u2019s \u201cTop State for Business\u201d \u2013 an honor we\u2019ve earned more times than any other state, and not one we would have garnered if we were a state saddled with unnecessary and burdensome regulations. This is an arbitrary executive branch office tasked with executing an arbitrary campaign promise, and while this effort may make a good Fox News headline, it has very real implications for our economy, our health, and our environment. We all want a Virginia where Government works, our economy thrives, and Virginians enjoy a high quality of life, but in many ways, a deregulatory agenda takes us in the opposite direction.
