http://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/readers/2015/03/08/construction-wage-bill-will-hurt-state/24590409/And our evil Koch brother to the northwest, Snot Walker, and his Koch cronies are itchin' to be next. A 'study' was just published (which almost matches the Indiana study, word for word ... how coincidental!) that "shows" how much taxpayers could "save" if they existing law is overturned. How can anyone with a brain not see that these laws are being written by ALEC and funneled to corruptible legislators with a handful of cash on the side?
Nowhere does it say that once the law is repealed, taxes/project costs will go DOWN. It just says that 'the law' increases costs of public projects. Now that the wage is repealed, projects will still cost the same but the money will go to CEO Assclown's Swiss Retirement account rather than back into the local economy by way of workers' paychecks.
Oh, and your high rises and overpasses will be built by $8/hr dudes from Labor Ready.
This insanity has got to stop. : mad:

K&R!

Silence! Silence all you crazy liberals! Nothing is happening! Nothing to see! We will "tweek" the hate law language, O.K? Now, go back to your silence!
Eerily similar to the medical professionals who remained silent as to the insanity and danger of an airline pilot.
It is not the pilots fault so much as the professionals. You have to start restoring the insanity by going to the top, the top is the inane, insane electoral system and complacent media.
At the top is massive Corruption. It is a systematic problem. Wonder when the media will get on that?
