#2This seems to be operating from the premise that being the least regulated state is inherently good. I'm skeptical of this claim while acknowledging there are many poor regulations. The regulatory slash and burn they describe seems as likely to remove useful regulations that, gasp, make the state better than oppressive ones that make it worse.

#3I do believe they are regulating pregnancies in Idaho now, so that title is a little inaccurate.

#4How do you delineate essential regulations (eg. airline regulations, food safety) from useless ones (eg. parking minimums, house zoning)?

#5This is just literal propaganda output by a think tank.

The incentive structure that they're using makes it much more likely that a good regulation will be kept than a bad one; this isn't a blanket destruction of all regulation, rather a review process that requires agencies to periodically affirm that a regulation is still having positive impact.

Yeah, last I heard Idaho still has traffic signs and signals. Commit to the bit, Idaho!

In the minds of highly conservative lobbyist groups, like MI, there are no essential regulations.

#9Manhattan Institute appears to be quite biased:

They generally hold views that are a bit off kilter: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Institute_for_Poli...
There is surprisingly little info about Idaho and this policy, outside of think tank posts and reposts of their info.
This seems weird.

Or that it is aligned with the current executive’s philosophy. This is pretty likely to create regulatory instability, but the article (as much of it that I could read) didn’t address that.
