Government Regulation Excessive governmental regulation continues to be a burden posing serious threat to the vitality of the business community. The Wichita Area Chamber of Commerce believes that a continuation of the growth in this trend will have a tremendous negative impact, especially on small business and the economy in general. The Chamber encourages the federal government to carefully consider the consequences that many well-intended regulations create and to ensure that the desired benefits outweigh the costs for implementation.
