Spotswood Borough Council Takes Stand Against "Prevailing Wage"

Spotswood Takes Stand Against "Prevailing Wage" Mandate For Public Projects

Spotswood borough officials are pushing to eliminate "prevailing wage" mandates from publicly funded projects and hope other New Jersey municipalities and school boards will follow suit.

The borough unanimously passed a resolution that lists drawbacks of the wage mandate, asserting, for instance, that it inflates costs and creates an unnecessary level of bureaucracy.
"It really needs to be made public so taxpayers know where their money is going," said council President Curtis Stollen. "Once you realize what taxpayers are saddled with, it's grossly unfair."
In the coming months, borough officials plan to circulate the resolution to school boards and municipal bodies throughout Middlesex County for support, Stollen said.
