When Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, a former construction union leader, appears before a Senate committee this morning in the first round of hearings for his nomination as Secretary of Labor, it s likely many in the construction industry will be wondering how he might influence the federal policies and regulations under which they work.
Born in Boston, Walsh joined Laborers’ International Union of North America Local 223 in 1988 and worked his way up through the ranks to lead both Local 223 and the Boston Building Trades Unions before being elected mayor in 2013. Walsh also served in the Massachusetts legislature.
Labor organizations hailed Walsh s nomination as a win for American workers and the U.S. economy. For instance, Dan Langford, executive secretary-treasurer of the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, told Construction Dive that Walsh is a great pick, and said that “what’s good for unions is good for all working people.”
Victorville City Council approves High Desert s first CarMax dealership
Vote of 4-1 paves way for used car company despite some opposition
Victorville Daily Press
The Victorville City Council on Tuesday moved forward with construction of the High Desert s first CarMax, nearly a month after the project drew opposition from local auto dealers who argued approval would constitute spot zoning.
With two new members, the Council voted 4-1 to certify the project’s environmental impact report, or EIR, with a program in place to mitigate potential impacts and a site plan. Councilwoman Blanca Gomez cast the dissenting vote.
Approval also included an amendment to a land-use plan that would conditionally allow used car sales in parcels, such as the CarMax site, that are zoned “Civic Commercial.”
