This may be something we should weigh in on as it really is a good idea.  I don't understand how these folks should have rule making ability when it might impact employment in our state.  Should we right to our state representatives?  I think maybe so.  The TU has a short piece on this today with links, and if you follow them, you get to this article which actually has enough information to let you know what is really going on and what this is all about.

The Florida Supreme Court dealt a blow to Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday, finding that he overstepped his constitutional authority when he suspended rulemaking by state agencies.

Ruling against Scott in favor of a low-income blind woman from South Florida, the justices said in a 5-2 opinion that Scott had violated the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches.

Scott on Tuesday disagreed with the ruling. "I don't think it follows the Constitution. It's a disappointment."

On his first day as governor in January, Scott froze rulemaking by all executive agencies under his authority and created a new Office of Fiscal Accountability and Regulatory Reform to determine whether proposed rules might unduly burden businesses. No agency would be permitted to adopt or alter a rule without approval from the new office.

The order put on hold thousands of rules governing everything from health care to environmental protection. The accountability office was also charged with reviewing existing rules and identifying which should be repealed. Scott has constantly cited government regulation as a primary obstacle to job creation.
