Protests



Today on my way home from work I found some people protesting against contractors who bring temporary or part-time non-union workers from out of state who get paid next to nothing and probably don't get any benefits.

What little money there is leaves the state when the non-union non-local workers go home to Kentucky or Alabama or where ever. Money that would otherwise boost the economy right here in Springfield by people who live here.

Do you wonder why the economy is going south? Contractors will have to lower their prices because they are paying lower wages! And those wages are going to be spent somewhere other than where the contractors are building.


Brilliant!

I did a video interview but the wind totally blasted my microphone.
