By MERRI BERLAGE What does Prevailing Wage mean to John Q. Public? In 1931 the federal law named "Davis-Bacon Act," and later in Illinois in the 1940s a similar law was enacted into law to encourage the hiring of skilled local workers.

That represents about one in 20 of all stimulus contracts. Most of the known outstanding taxes were corporate and payroll.
In his January 1989 farewell address to the nation, President Reagan warned, "Man is not free unless government is limited. ..
