Funny, I agree with the idea of trying to keep at least some project funding in the area where the project is being built.

At least a third of contracts and subcontracts would go to small businesses, and at least 30 percent of the contracts would be reserved for businesses owned by minorities, women and veterans.

This is a public works project, I know. But the proposed level of government interference is maddening. No wonder why many businesses would prefer to locate their factories overseas.

FTA: "If she succeeds, at least half of the workers hired for the $2 billion project for a new I-81 would have to come from Syracuse."
What happens when the job is complete? All of the people from Syracuse who worked on the project would then get laid off.
You can't fix stupid.

Build Local, Hire Local A recipe for massive corruption, sanctioned by law.
I've dealt with some of these preferred companies. One company that got a contract under an American Indian preferrment was owned by an Alaskan tribe. The only Alaskans employed were in company HQ in Alaska. All of the company operations were in Maryland, DC and Virginia.

What makes her think that the chronically unemployed and many of the offenders even WANT jobs?

This is what socialism brings. Instead of building the best road at the lowest cost, building a road becomes aother battle in the social justice war.

On this type of local hire mandate it is always a clown show.
A 2 billion dollar road project has about 1.5 to 2 million man days of work. About 70% of that work is Operating Engineers, Ironworkers and Carpenters all with a four year apprenticeship or training program.
They all have to pass drug tests.
Ex Cons and unemployed in Syracuse making that hurdle is a joke.
