There’s another issue in the Wisconsin state legislature that’s comming up here which goes back to the depression daze known as prevailing wage. Any public civic project construction must to be priced out at the top union wage. That also includes any grants and donations (including donated labor) from civic minded individuals or groups for any project they’re offering their particular area .

It was expected to sail through but the heavy hitters in the road construction racket amongst other groups are fighting any change. The change would allow smaller local contractors to submit much lower bids which in return would reduce costs.

Walker had better park his campaign bus. Head back home and do a little campaigning here if he wants to put this needed reform in place .

Walker said he's been back weekly. In between the 2 long standing trade missions he's gone on this year, the 2015-17 budget he's hammering out, interviews, fundraising and giving talks around the country, he even found time to kiss a sea lion yesterday at the Milwaukee County Zoo, and it's the start of fishing season (he might have his line in the water right now).
