> Bush signs executive order Cancelling Minimum Wage in Katrina zone
13 September 2005, 15:20
I agree that President Bush’s executive order was another error of judgment and just another "kick in the teeth" to the already devastated people. Whether or not the construction workers are from the local area or not, allowing contractors to pay below the prevailing wage will encourage hiring unskilled labor to complete the rebuilding and result in substandard work. Would President Bush be willing to work for less in light of the devastation?
