Behind the scenes for the common good ... bad and ugly: the battle rages on over who controls regulatory agencies

Article Abstract:

There is considerable turmoil in Washington concerning the interplay of control over regulatory agencies and the powers these agencies have over others. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was created by Congress but falls under the executive branch of government. The executive branch's control of the OSHA is said to be inconsistent with the separation of powers doctrine. The OSHA and other agencies is in constant conflict with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) because of the OMB's power to review policies promulgated by other agencies.
