News4Letter to the Editor...

Lower wages, higher costsAs the Indiana legislature enters thesecond half of its long session, we shouldtake a minute to examine a bill that willnegatively affect the entire Hoosierworkforce and our community at large.Carmel Representative Jerry Torr hasauthored a bill, House Bill 1019, thatrepeals Indiana’s long-standing CommonConstruction Wage (CCW). Contrary tothe repeal’s proponents, getting rid of theCCW not only lowers workers’ wagesbut increases costs to the taxpayer in lostrevenue to state/local governments,economic productivity, and a lessertrained construction workforce. According to a study released last yearby the Midwest Economic PolicyInstitute, a repeal of Indiana’s CCW lawwould lead to job cuts in the constructionindustry, costing our state approximately$21 million in state/local tax revenue peryear, in addition to the average $65.8million in lost federal tax payments. Inan era of tight budgets for our localschools, parks, libraries and otherbenefits to our community, we need tomaintain good paying jobs that help uspay for these vital services. The average pay for an Indianaconstruction worker is $23.22, notincluding fringe benefits and the value oftheir training in apprenticeship programsat no cost to the taxpayer, which is over$42 million per year! This rigoroustraining produces a highly skilledworkforce that increases economic

productivity. The same study found thatworkers added $140,320 in value to eachproject, making them more than twice asproductive to workers in states without aCCW law. Representative Torr’s bill does nothingto make up for this loss in productivity ortraining; instead he blindly invoked themantra of “free-market” ideology in hispublic testimony as the solution to allfuture problems his bill would cause. Getting rid of our CCW law would inviteemploying undertrained workers, creatingdangerous job sites and ultimately costingtaxpayers more money. States that haverepealed their CCW – e.g. Missouri,Kentucky, Florida, and Utah – saw a 15percent increase job-related injuries.Given that the poverty rate in Indiana hasincreased 29.3 percent since 2007 (higherthan the national average by the way),policy makers should be doing everythingthey can to create an economicenvironment that encourages the creationof good paying jobs in the constructionindustry and beyond, union and non-union. That is why the Senate should stopHB 1019 and keep the CommonConstruction Wage law on the books.

Sports8Conway, Duermit star on the mound..

What a night at The Dunk What an evening it was for Fishers as theTigers came into Dunker Field Fridayevening and opened play in the HoosierCrossroads Conference with a 6-2 victoryover Noblesville, behind some excellentpitching from sophomore Luke Duermit. And, what an evening it was for the hostMillers as Noblesville bounced back tospank Fishers, 11-0, in the nightcap of adouble-header, led by the brilliant pitchingof junior Cory Conway. Now, two of the super powers of the HCCmove to Fishers today (11 a.m.) for therubber game of the three game series. Itshould be quite a finale. “We didn’t play very well in the opener,”said Justin Keever of his Millers. “We didn’tcome out and compete.” Keever looked at the nightcap as acompletely different performance by histeam. “Conway pitched very well,” said thecoach. “Our defense was good and we gotgood swings at the plate.” Conway, the lefty, was outstanding. Heallowed just one hit, an infield single byDuermt with one out in the fourth. Conwayfanned 11 batters and walked just three. Hewalked two Tigers in the first, but after thatConway was lights out all night. He retiredthe side in order in the third, fifth and sixthinnings of the six-inning game. He allowedjust one base runner in the last four innings,that being Duermit’s single behind second.Noblesville exploded at the plate all-gamelong, scoring three two runs in the second,three in the third, one in the fifth and five inthe sixth. After sophomore first sacker BryceMasterson hit a two-run homer in the third,it was all but over for Fishers. That wasMaterson’s second home run of the night.

Also having a big night at the plate wasjunior third sacker Connor Christman, going4-for-4. Noblesville sophomore Harris Camp hada big night on the bases, stealing four ofthem. In the opener, Duermit went five stronginnings for the Tigers before the sophomoreran out of gas in the sixth. Junior ElliottGillmore finished up with two innings ofscores baseball. “Both of our guys really pitched well,”said Fishers coach Matthew Cherry. “The rain last evening (the Millers andTigers were rained out of a Thursday game)was really a blessing. Luke (Duermit) cameback from Florida with the flu and may nothave been able to pitch last evening. Hethrew 95 pitches tonight and ran out of gas.”Duermit didn’t allow a hit until the sixth.Travis Gillian opened the sixth forNoblesville with a walk and then Mastersonunloaded a two-run homer. DaxMcMcLochlin singled and Christmanwalked before Gilmore came in to record thefinal three outs. Fishers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the thirdwhen Andy Bennett reached on an error andJoe Michel exploded with an RBI double.In a three-run sixth for the Tigers, Michelsingled and Caleb Brenczewski doubled.Michel and pinch-runner Garrett Schultheisscored on a double by Campman, who laterscored on a fielder’s choice hit by EvanRuthsatz. Fishers got two more runs in the seventhon walks to Bennett and Brandon Yoho, afielder’s choice RBI by Brenczewski, a walkto Gilmore and Chapman getting hit with apitch with the bases loaded.
