Bloustein Dean Stuart Shapiro is quoted in a POLITICO article discussing the ramifications of Trump’s announcement that billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk and 2024 Republican presidential nominee Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a new government efficiency commission aimed at overhauling the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal offices.
Shapiro characterized the commission’s role as advisory, particularly in light of prior Trump administration struggles with judicial pushback. He explained that repealing #regulations usually requires a lengthy administrative and legal process and also noted that the appointments will likely face significant challenges, as the commission lacks authority, funding, and legislative backing.
