Lincoln Labs Hails Bush for Regulatory Proposals

Free market tech advocacy group Lincoln Labs approves of the direction of Jeb Bush’s regulatory proposals, which would include rolling back the FCC net neutrality order if elected president (see 1509220058). Bush is seeking the GOP presidential nomination and is a former Florida governor. “We believe that if we can reduce the number of out-of-date and harmful rules, we can unleash this country's entrepreneurial spirit and kick start economic growth,” said Lincoln Labs Chief Technology Officer Chris Abrams in a statement Wednesday. “Each candidate should weigh in regarding their ideas for reducing the regulatory burdens faced by entrepreneurs, including reforms to the broken patent and copyright systems." Lincoln Labs highlighted Bush’s broader desires for regulatory overhaul, including limited deference to agencies on rulemaking and congressional approval of major regulations.
