- DoreenMichele 3y agoI'm fond of the saying "That government is best which governs least." I would like to see a wetlands version of Temple Grandin's guidelines for the beef industry that got widely adopted because McDonald's de facto enforced it. They give you a list of goals or standards and don't micromanage how to achieve it. https://www.grandin.com/RecAnimalHandlingGuidelines.html#:~:text=Authored%20by%20Temple%20Grandin%2C%20Ph.D.%2C%20of%20Colorado%20State,how%20to%20move%20non-ambulatory%20animals%20while%20minimizing%20stress https://www.grandin.com/RecAnimalHandlingGuidelines.html#:~:.... Excellence requires some flexibility. Top-down dictates tend to set a minimum standard but frequently also de facto undermine the ability to hit a higher bar.
