The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released Jack's Story: Government "All about Regulations," the first in a three part video series detailing how government regulations impact Ohio small business owner Jack Buschur and his company, Buschur Electric Incorporated. Founded in 1978, Buschur Electric grew to support 30 jobs in Minster, OH until the down economy and costly compliance with byzantine government regulations forced the company to lay off 12 workers beginning in 2009. This is Jack's story of how rules written by bureaucrats in Washington affect real communities, job creators and their families across America.
"The regulations and the paperwork problems government throws at small business today is just becoming tremendously overwhelming," Buschur says in the video. "So much of it has nothing to do with safety or creating business. It's all about regulations."
Earlier this year, Buschur testified before the Oversight Committee that government safety and environmental regulations -- imposed by Washington with little meaningful consultation with regulated job creators -- create an uncertain business environment, require time-consuming and costly compliance, and unleash unintended consequences undermining the purported benefits of regulation.
