Rep. Camensby talked about how even Rick Snyder — yes, Rick Snyder — is opposed to repealing the #prevailingwage because it will hurt skilled trades recruitment #mileg

[Beth LeBlanc @DNBethLeBlanc]

Rep. Jewell Jones said at a time when infrastructure projects around the state are more needed than ever, "the need for strong skilled trades workforce is even greater."

"To repeal prevailing wage is to cut their pay pure and simple.”

[Kathy Gray @GrayMichpoligal]

The gallery is full of labor members for prevailing wage repeal.

[Jonathan Oosting @jonathanoosting]

Dem governor candidate Gretchen Whitmer says prevailing wage repeal "one of the dumbest votes the legislature has ever taken. All the happy talk about encouraging people to go into careers in the skilled trades will be directly undercut by repealing prevailing wage" #MIGOV #MILEG

[Tim Greimel @TimGreimelMI]

There's a shortage of skilled workers in Michigan. Repealing prevailing wage will make recruiting and retaining skilled workers harder – and more expensive. The economy will suffer. #MiLeg

Our infrastructure is in disrepair. Voters tell me every day that the roads here are the worst they've driven on in the entire country. I'm a NO on repealing #PrevailingWage because a good wage is what will attract great workers to help us build MI.

The Michigan Legislature is voting today to repeal the state’s #prevailingwage law. Why do they want to hurt #families and #LIUNA members?

The following letter was formally submitted to the #mileg by MITA's EVP, Mike Nystrom, in support of Michigan's #PrevailingWage law.

[Jonathan Oosting @jonathanoosting]

Michigan Court of Appeals grants motion for immediate consideration of prevailing wage repeal petitions. Repeal advocates asking court to certify petitions and send to #MILEG after 2-2 split by Board of State Canvassers

[Michigan Laborers @MiLaborers]

Michigan board of elections deadlocked on approving petitions for repeal of #prevailingwage - petition drive stalls. Win for the workers. Expect court challenges from anti-worker groups.

[Rick Pluta @rickpluta]

MI elections board deadlocks along party lines on #prevailingwage petition. So drive stalls. Look for this to go to court.

[Gongwer Michigan (State Affairs Michigan) @GongwerMichigan]

Board of State Canvassers, on 2-2 party-line vote (GOP voting yes, Dems no), rejects certification of voter-initiated act repealing the prevailing wage law. Backers will go to court to seek certification.
