There is some good news out of the Bush Administration. The
President has nominated Susan Dudley, Director of Regulatory Studies at
the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, to be the new
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the Office of Management and Budget. Susan is a solid thinker, fine
economist and a free market environmentalist. She is also friends with
several of us here at the JLF. Last year Susan made a trip to Raleigh
where she gave talks to students at NCSU and to our own Shaftsbury
Society. Go here
to learn more about Susan’s background and let’s all hope and pray that
she survives what will certainly be a tough confirmation hearing.
