• In a speech at the South Carolina Freedom Summit in May 2015, George Pataki condemned the growth of bureaucracy at the federal level. Pataki said he wanted to reduce the federal workforce by 15 percent, and noted that he had reduced the New York state workforce by 25,000 workers.
• The New York Times characterized Pataki as believing "that competition and free market, not regulators, should make decisions."
• Pataki established the Governor's Office of Regulatory Reform (GORR) in 1995 to lessen "the mountain of bureaucratic red tape and regulations that had severely damaged the State’s economic climate and job creation efforts." According to the George Pataki Leadership Center, this office "eliminated or significantly reformed more than 2,900 regulations." GORR was dismantled in 2011 by Andrew Cuomo.
