DC Mary Votes Against Paying People a Decent Wage, 3 years in a row.

This one is real classy Mary.  Not only have you forgotten what it is like to be an Oklahoman, you have seeming forgotten how important earning a living wage is.

Must be nice to be overpaid to skip votes, be bought by special interests, and pal around with your DC buddies.  But here in Oklahoma people are hard workers who deserve to be paid a wage they can live on.

We get it Mary you’re not an Oklahoman, you’re a Washington insider who does what special interests pay you to do.

Don’t bring your nonsense ideals to Oklahoma.

Voting summary:
2007: Fallin voted to remove wage standards for renewable energy projects. Fallin voted for the Kingston, R-GA, amendment to HR 3161, the 2008 Agriculture Appropriations bill. The amendment waived the Davis-Bacon law, which requires prevailing wages to be paid on public works projects, for government contracts to construct renewable energy systems. 

2008: Fallin voted to remove wage standards for public housing projects. Fallin voted for the King, R-IA, amendment to HR 3524, the HOPE VI public housing program reauthorization. The amendment barred the use of funds in the bill to pay for local prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act for public housing projects. 

 2009: Fallin voted to remove wage standards for clean water projects. Fallin voted for the Mack, R-FL, amendment to HR 1262, the authorization for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. The amendment removed the Davis-Bacon Act provisions in the bill, which required contractors for projects that received federal funds to pay the prevailing local wages and benefits to employees.
