Mayor Sanders and all current GOP mayoral aspirants:
Do you support or oppose the use of a project labor agreement (PLA), which would mandate the hiring of union workers, on the $700 million San Diego Convention Center Expansion?
$700 Million Question for Mayor Sanders and all 2012 GOP Mayoral Aspirants

Great question. We all know Carl DeMaio doesn’t support PLA’s — and has been the only one in city government leading the effort to ban them.
Word on the street is Sanders supports the PLA for the Convention Center.
This adds about 15-30% to the cost of the project — and discriminates against non-union workers and employers. Talk about a sweet heart deal!
It is shameful that any Republican would ever allow or even support this.
Where is Bonnie Dumanis on this? Fletcher? Faulconer?

GoCarlGo: Thanks… I tweeted this post/question to Carl DeMaio, Mayor Sanders, Nathan Fletcher and Kevin Faulconer this morning.
Let’s be clear: We would like the answers posted here, not just on Twitter.

Thor’s Assistant: Amen!
The PLA requirement for the convention center is already settled. It became a mandatory requirement the moment Sanders appointed Steve Cushman to the convention center board, and Cushman put himself in charge of raising the money for the project.
