Editorial: End 'state enforced price fixing'

Sunday's editorial in the Bowling Green Daily News didn't pull any punches in describing the harmful effects of Kentucky's prevailing-wage policy. It called the policy "a government enforced price fixing conspiracy" on public projects.

The editorial did a good job of addressing how Kentucky's prevailing-wage policy is harmful to the commonwealth's economy: "Rather than allowing the free market to deliver the best value, these laws require labor prices established at the prevailing (which is to say union) rate."

Is anyone in Frankfort listening?
