Former GOP rising star/policy wonk/excellent Governor, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, recently signed into a law a bill banning government mandated PLA’s. Louisiana is the fifth State in 2011 and the ninth overall to ban the use of PLA’s on government funded projects.
Thanks to aggressive efforts of organizations like the Associated Builders and Contractors and the National Right to Work Committee, State Houses are finally waking up to the waste of taxpayer dollars caused by PLA’s.
