Instead of just being open to it, he should be pushing it… hard.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, says he’s open to a repeal of the prevailing wage for state projects if it’s part of a larger transportation package.

Republicans this session repealed the requirement for local projects, and some have called for doing the same with state work after the GOP won bigger majorities in both houses during this fall’s elections.

While he is open to the change, Vos said Thursday it alone wouldn’t be enough to address the state’s transportation funding needs.
