Infrastructure, Tax Incentives, Prevailing Wage Laws and Registered Apprenticeships comprise some of the key issues detailed in documents sent to the Trump transition team.
SMACNA has reached out to the incoming Trump Administration to share SMACNA’s membership priority policy issues and communicate the Association’s desire to work with the President-Elect to advance them in the coming years. The priorities and policy recommendations that were outlined to the Trump Transition Team include the following:
In a letter to the incoming Administration, Stan Kolbe, SMACNA’s Executive Director of Government and Political Affairs, stated, “As you know, there has been widespread bipartisan support for almost every one of these commonsense policies in the 118th Congress. With the Administration's endorsement, we are confident these legislative initiatives will enjoy even wider bipartisan support in the incoming 119th Congress.” Kolbe continued, “…I am sure you would agree that SMACNA and its industry-leading firms and highly trained and skilled workforce are best qualified to handle the most challenging and complex federal and federally assisted projects now under construction and on the horizon in the years ahead.”
SMACNA is hopeful that we can work with the incoming administration to continue the forward momentum on many of the topics outlined in the documents sent to the Administration over the past few years.
