A bill allowing local governments to opt out of Pennsylvania's onerous prevailing wage requirements has cleared the State House's Committee of Labor and Industry and is now on the full floor reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129)

"House Bill 1538, . . . would allow counties, municipal governments and school districts to offer competitive wages – instead of inflated payments based on urban wage rates - to workers on certain projects," said Cox.

The prevailing wage law, which requires labor cost to be be paid at a rate set by the state for most public construction projects, adds 20 percent to the cost of these projects according to Commonwealth Foundation.

Let's see if Corbett can actually find his balls and sign this if it makes it through the Senate. He has been a disappointment so far. He can't even get rid of the damn State Stores.

Another? Can you cite previous triumphs? Corbett is easily the weakest GOP Gov running for reelection because he hasn't done crap even though the GOP controls both chambers of congress. He is also neck deep in the Penn State scandal.

Corbett will sign it. I'm more concerned about the Senate, especially as how the weaker sister bills might give them some cover.

It still has to be voted on by both bodies. Let's not count the chickens yet.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

You run around whining about how mean and sad the stories are here at RR and it makes you want to shake your fist at the computer screen and then you spend the day posting inflammatory non sequitors to give yourself some sort of hard on. What is your point?
