The Erie County Legislator will vote to override County Executive Giambra's veto of an apprenticeship law requiring all bidders on County construction projects to have a NYSDOL certified apprenticeship program.

This law will SEVERELY restrict competitive bidding on County construction projects, resulting in higher construction costs.

The undersigned encourage ALL Erie County Legislators to VOTE AGAINST overriding the veto. We believe Erie County is in no position to pay more for construction projects, and there is a way to ensure training for future workers, while not restricting competition and increasing costs.

    • Vote no on this law. It will stifle competition on Erie County projects costing the taxpayers more, and further increase the cost of doing business here. It will restrict MANY minority, women owned, and small businesses from working on County projects. There are better alternatives.

    • Why would our legislature want to eliminate 75\% of the competition?

    • Issues like the one this petition is trying to stop is the reason My fiance & I are leaving the area this summer. Please don't make it harder for the friends & family we are leaving behind. A very good friend of mine just acquired his drafting job back for one of these companies after loosing it for 3 years to "Bureaucratic Red Tape." I don't want to see more of that.
