[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not convinced that a preference for local contractors is a entirely bad thing. These projects serve are supposed to serve multiple purposes including increasing employment in the city. That builds the middle class and would mean fewer children in poverty entering school. [/quote] Umm. The local contractor bid $16 million and the out-of-state contractor bid $6 million. This is not close: the locals are fleecing the city and those that fund it (us). [/quote] I couldn't believe those numbers but, yes, that's indeed what the article says. "In February, the city opened the bidding to redevelop St. Elizabeths East. Documents show Fort Myer bid $16 million. Rhode Island-based Gilbane Building Co., one of the nation’s biggest construction firms, bid $6 million." What a joke. Bowser has lost any credibility. I hope the feds conduct a serious criminal investigation of her administration. [/quote]
