Mayors join calls for Biden administration to end ban on local hires in federal infrastructure projects | TheHill
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) and other elected officials are joining local leaders, labor unions and community organizations demanding the Biden administration overturn the ban on local hire programs in federally-funded infrastructure projects.
