"Anytime a project goes over $25,000, the county is required to pay prevailing wage. It's cost taxpayers millions of dollars. We're asking our legislators to please consider raising that ceiling cap from $25,000 to $189,000."Nothstein said the meeting included"When you think about the prevailing wage, and the cost of doing it ... it not only affects us at the county level, but it affects our taxpayers," Nothstein said.
