Full PEAPAC Analysis
As with Measure 27, we remind you that biblical government is representative government. Currently, state agencies and bureaucrats write rules that have the force of law. This job belongs properly to our elected officials, who are accountable to the electorate.
In addition, the heads of these agencies can currently serve long beyond their appointed and approved term of office. This measures corrects this, and indirectly restores some of the legislative control over the rule-making process.
We recommend a YES vote.
