I appreciate knowing of your support for legislative efforts to
reperil the Davis -Bacon Act.
I share your view that `he Davis -Bacon Act is an unnecessary and
inflationary government intrusion into local work practices and wage
structures. For this reason, I have joined In sponsoring H.R. 1325, a
bill introduced by Representative magedorn which provides for the repeal
of the Act. H.R. 1325 is presently pending in the House Education and
Labor Suboonmittee on Labor F:tandards. No action has been taken to
date.
Although I am not a member of the D3ucation and Labor 00mmittee, you
may be certain that I will support all legislative efforts to repeal the
Davis -Bacon Act which are presented to the full House for consideration.
Again, tha.-*s for your kindness in writing.
S; erely,
NORM D. SHLM AY

RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF LODI URGING REPEAL OF THE DAVIS-BACON ACT
WHEREAS, the Davis -Bacon Act is a 50 -year old law which causes
enormous waste of local tax resources by requiring federally established prevailing
wages on all public construction of which any part is funded by federal fends.
WHEREAS, the repeal of the Davis -Bacon Act will save the taxpayers
hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Lodi does hereby urge the repeal of the Davis -Bacon Act thereby returning to
°esponsible local government officials the power to make those policy decisions
about the use of local tax dollars even when federal funding is involved.
