An in-depth conversation about what will drive up public construction costs by over 20% in Oregon: Mandated project labor agreements. Three guests from Associated General Contractors joined the conversation. Kirsten Adams is a lobbyist and attorney for AGC, Larry Gescher is a well-respected contractor, and Mike Salsgiver is the CEO of AGC. The subject of PLA's is important because of their high cost on taxpayers without much upside for labor.
