He is largely responsible for the regulatory mess
Jingle,
Completely wrong, the good Dr. has had very little to do with the problems of the stop/start attempts at reform, or the "reform" program.
Remember, he hasn't worked in the CASA legal branch for quite a while. Even when he was there, he played little or no part in the "reform" program. He has been mostly involved with the Sports and Recreational areas, and all the associations involved are actually very happy with his efforts ---- one of the few bright spots in the overall aviation scene.
Any pretense at reform, as oppose to a vast expansion of of highly prescriptive regulations, all criminal law, was abandoned years ago.
As the latest description says: "regulate to the greatest possible extent".
Blame the right targets, and there is plenty of blame to go around.
How does that old military adage about command go: Assign blame, take the credit, shoot the wounded.
