RH Jones on Rep. Lynn Wachtmann's proposal

From RH Jones, March 14, 2007
Subject: Public school facilities "on the cheap"

To all:

Could slave labor be a solution for State Rep. Lynn Wachtmann (R) 75th Dist. as he searches for a co-sponsor for his plan to reduce the prevailing rate of wages the state pays for a public school district's classroom facilities projects,? Or, perhaps a Communist Gulag or a Nazis style slave labor camp could be a solution for him?

And, further, I wonder: How would these poorly paid workers be able to pay their home mortgages, car loans, utilities, health bills, and, on and, on and on.? Requiring only water, feeding, and no clothing, perhaps the GOP elephants could do the work?

Ohio should set the example for contractors and other businesses by paying the prevailing wage to insure both strong school buildings and a strong state economy.
