Public Hearing Set for Tuesday

One of the issues I talked about during the election was the full repeal of the prevailing wage. This antiquated law from the 1930s overcharges the taxpayers between $200 and $300 million per year.

Each level of government from the State down to the local school board pay an artificially inflated wage on publicly funded projects. When the wages are inflated, the projects cost the taxpayers more money. A recent report found a potential savings of $38 million from school construction referenda passed last month.

The time is now to end the special interest's stranglehold on public projects. We need to apply free market principles to these projects.

If you agree with me, please consider attending the public hearing on tomorrow. If you cannot make it to Madison this week, please reply to this email and I will make sure your thoughts are heard by the committee.

On Wisconsin!
