A special-interest insertion into the omnibus housing bill could raise certain housing construction costs by 21% in CT. This is not about “affordability.” It’s about more state control over our towns and cities. It’s about time we had a governor who can protect local control and make our state affordable.

Associated Builders and Contractors has long fought the Biden PLA rule and called on the president to rescind the order in the name of fairness and competition. “[Thursday’s] decision cannot be reconciled with the president’s philosophies of merit, fairness and nondiscrimination because it inhibits fair and open competition and prioritizes special interests over taxpayers and workers,” said Michael Bellaman, president and CEO of ABC. Bellaman noted that the government can still use PLAs without the executive order and said the use of PLAs effectively excludes non-union builders and workers.

With 75,000 job openings, Connecticut's labor shortage crisis demands a range of approaches. Reforming the state's apprenticeship hiring restrictions is a "commonsense policy lawmakers should embrace," writes @HartfordBiz' Greg Bordonaro. #reimaginect cbia.biz/40AwLIu
