I figure this will be of interest to the forum: http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/jul/02/ca-supreme-court-charter-citi es-exempt-prevailing-/
City of Vista, CA won a case before the CA Supreme Court (a body almost as liberal as the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, btw) regarding their right as a charter city to issue construction contracts based on open instead of prevailing wages. The court found that a city's charter supersedes the state prevailing wage statute, essentially opening the door to a precedent that would limit the prevailing wage requirement for public contracts to those issued by the state, or for work outside of charter city jurisdictions. Obviously, conservatives and taxpayer advocates are happy; organized labor is not.
