According to the United States Congress Joint Economic Committee, Pennsylvanians spend an average of $3,115 more on food and $3,358 more on housing costs since January 2021. Harrisburg should be seizing every opportunity to save taxpayer resources—but instead, we see the exact opposite. If HB 2153 and SB 841 were to be enacted, special interests win, and taxpayers further foot the bill for new construction projects. Prevailing wage laws interfere with normal market signals and impede on the ability of governments to receive competitive bids.

House Bill 2153 and Senate Bill 841 would expand the Commonwealth’s existing prevailing wage law to prevent split rates and apply special interest-driven prices, further expanding prevailing wage law and putting a greater price tag on public projects paid for by US, the hardworking taxpayer.
