Just one week after Republicans targeted prevailing wage laws and binding arbitration for public safety workers, the House Committee on Commerce took testimony Tuesday on House Bill 4287, legislation to eliminate the use of project labor agreements (PLAs) in any project being paid by taxpayer dollars.
