Coalition efforts to block passage of monopoly construction legislation
Posted March 15, 2022Categories: Uncategorized
WIEG helped build a coalition to defeat this anti-competition, anti-consumer legislation in the 2021-2022 session.

Please contact us to find out how you can be part of the growing coalition.
