It appears based on this Congressional Research Report that Bush violated the 1976 National Emergencies Act in failing to follow proper procedures in suspending Davis-Bacon wage regulations. Dems at the Education and Workforce Committee are denouncing Bush for this illegal behavior.Lafayette's congressman, Rep. Boustany, supports the President's action, saying that the elimination of Davis-Bacon will "ease the burden on state and local officials." We should note that Davis-Bacon does not apply to state or local officials, only to the Federal Government. Perhaps the media (ahem!) should ask for a clearification.
