This 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.

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.
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.
