3. They Were Cited

So, it's not deregulation.
It's just slovenly management who didn't follow the law, despite the fact that there is insignificant cost in doing so.
Management chasing pennies seems to be the problem, not lack of regulation.
I'm a bit surprised they were cited because I expected lax application of regulation in that state. But, inspectors obviously there and followed the law, so I guessed wrongly on that.
Don't get me wrong; I'm an opponent of deregulation. But, I don't think that's to blame here.
