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

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.
