“I’d like to see more pro-union work and a lot more masonry work. This should be good for the apprentices who will need the hands-on experience that many of these jobs will create.”

“It would be great to have more public works, highways, sound walls and schools and fix some of the problems we have with the roads in the state.”

“It will keep us working. Myself, I’m getting ready to retire, but this will be important for the younger guys. This will work out for the good not just for the bricklayers, but for all trades.”

“More work for us as union members also means a better future for our kids. Building more schools and bettering the current ones is something I would like to see.”

“This money should go toward PLA jobs, so that these hard
working tradesmen can earn a decent wage. The cost of living these days is high. A lot of that money goes into more training for the jobs.”
