Steve Hilton predicts cutting California regulations below 200,000 if elected

What was said

""One of the things I'm announcing today actually is that we're going to cut the number of regulations in California from where we are today, which is over 420,000 by the end of my first term to under 200,000, which makes us competitive with the rest of the country.""

Steve Hilton says California has more than 420,000 regulations and predicts he would cut them to under 200,000 by the end of his first term as governor. He argues the rules have accumulated through legislation influenced by narrow interests in Sacramento, and says a rollback would boost competitiveness.
