It’s indicative of how closely Bob Cerasoli held his cards that one of his closest working associates, U.S. Attorney Jim Letten, had no advance knowledge of Cerasoli’s resignation.
“Holy God,” Letten said this morning. “I have to confess that when I picked up the paper this morning, it was the first I’d heard of Bob’s resigning.

~And in allowing project labor agreements (PLAs) in federal construction contracts, labor gains an advantage while depriving many qualified people an opportunity at work and increasing the costs of the projects. Louisiana Republicans made the point in a letter to the President about Hurricane Katrina recovery projects: “In Louisiana, just 12.6 percent of private construction workers belong to a construction labor union, ” the Louisiana Republicans said. “If PLAs are attached to federal construction projects in Louisiana over 87 percent of local workers will be locked out of the rebuilding process.”
