Don’t lower construction wages

Published 9:54 am Friday, April 27, 2012

Last week a bill advanced in the Legislature that would lower construction wages in the state of Minnesota. This is just another bill about taking more and more from the hard-working taxpaying citizens.

The industry I work in is seasonal. Construction has been hardest hit in the economic downturn, and I don’t know why legislators want to add to that hardship.

I want the Legislature to focus on creating new jobs, not lowering the wages of people who are fortunate to be working.
