RNC Statement On Obama's Pro-Union Executive Order
Special to Huntingtonnews.net
Washington, DC (PRNewswire-USNewswire) -- Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2009 released the following statement concerning the executive order quietly signed by President Barack Obama on Friday ordering the use of union labor for federal construction projects:
"President Obama's executive order will drive up the cost of government at a time when we should be doing everything possible to save taxpayer dollars. Federal contracts should go to the businesses that can offer taxpayers the best value - not just the unions who supported the Democrats' campaigns last year. Quietly signing executive orders to payback campaign backers undermines Obama promise to change Washington. It is a disappointment for Americans hoping for more transparency and less politics as usual in Washington."
