Buttigieg Reinstates Local-Hiring Program for Public Works Projects

The Transportation Department’s four-year pilot initiative, originally launched by the Obama administration in 2015, will permit state and local agencies receiving federal transit or highway money to impose local hiring preferences, such as those favoring veterans, minorities and low-income workers. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said that imposing the hiring preferences can “take a little longer on the front end” of a project. But it allows local governments a measure of control over the way infrastructure dollars flow through the community, she said. The program had been scrapped by President Donald Trump in 2017, reverting to rules set during President Ronald Reagan s administration, which prohibited geographic-based hiring preferences.

5 hr 39 min ago House majority leader says he would pursue select committee if Jan. 6 commission bill fails in Senate From CNN s Annie Grayer Rep. Steny Hoyer speaks during a news conference near the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge on May 19 in Washington, DC. Drew Angerer/Getty Images House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told CNN “of course” when asked if he would pursue a select committee to investigate what happened on Jan. 6 if the bill to create an independent commission fails in the Senate. The House is slated to vote on the bill today, but it could face an uphill battle in the Senate as it needs at least 10 Republicans in the chamber to join all 50 Democrats to overcome a 60-vote filibuster and pass the bill.
