The unpaid state budget is not finished yet, but for the second year of law, it will not be the reform of the law of the State Wicks public works.

Under the Wicks Law on separate contracts for sanitation, electrical equipment and other construction projects, Public Works in an amount exceeding $ 50000.

This limit has not been cleaned since the 1960’s, and the proponents of change to require, at $ 50000 benchmark of modernizing and compensate for inflation. They contend that the increase in limits of the taxpayers’ money, in theory, by reducing the number of projects that needed several contracts.

Dear Chief Negotiator of the state assembly and the Senate dropped provisions, which have the right of the benchmark’s most important and others are subject to change. The disappointment move, unions, but fortunately, people like Mike Misenhimer, head of the Northeastern Association of subcontractors.

Misenhimer group fought for the language on the budget, which indicates that other provisions - including the ability of the law to waive any - at the root weighed reform.

“If they want a simple Wicks increase, it would be one thing. But it does other products brought into service, the equation further,” said Misenhimer.

Most of the budget of 124 billion dollars has not yet been adopted, a few days earlier a 1st appointment in April.

In 2007, then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer has requested amendments to the law. At the time, he said he wanted a minimum of $ 2 million for New York City and a threshold of $ 1 million for projects outside the city.

A reform in the Assembly during the past year to ensure the 10 United States dollars, up to $ 500000 for projects hinterland. But groups such as General Building Contractors of New York State and the Northeastern Association of subcontractors was concerned that the bill was weighed with costly, without changes, the late taxpayers to translate. She says that some of the proposed bill mandates have pressed some parts of the tender.

Spitzer even mention the initiative in his State of the State address in January. He has since resigned, and it is unclear whether the administration of Gov. David Paterson supports the proposed reforms.

“Even schrille mechanical contractors, who do want to see Wicks had changed to accept that one law 40 years ago, needs to be updated, said Misenhimer.” But we want that they are not affected at all rather than what we have seen. “

MOUNTAIN rubble of the illegal dumping sites and pages on the road has led to a new law on the regulation of ecological construction.

The 5.2 million tons of material per year illegal dumping on the part of the addition to the roads, on the banks of rivers and in the open landscape could soon be a thing of the past.

By June, new laws require construction companies to separate Schutt, and send to recycling, a milestone was addressed by the environmental group Quercus.

Nunes Correia, Minister for the Environment, is convinced that the new law leads to improved environmental quality in the country.

The law aims to Portugal for a future European Union directive on buildings and recycling of waste dumping.

While applauding the action, Quercus pointed out a number of contradictions, with the problem of companies that are not legally obliged to devote a certain percentage of the reuse of rubble in new construction projects.

“Companies specialized distinct, and may send waste for recycling, but there is no law to compel companies, in fact, with a part in the construction of projects,” said Pedro Carteiro Quercus. The environmentalists gave the example, widespread in Brazil, with tires and roads Altgummi, practised by companies such as Petrobras.

Without such a law to take charge, it can still cheaper than for construction companies to bury construction waste and treatment of waste in landfills.

“During the year 2006, it was decided that the companies would have to pay five dollars for each ton of waste deposited in landfills.

“This legislation reduces this value to two euros per tonne,” said Quercus Cármen Lima, who said that the Government’s policy with regard to construction and demolition is contradictory and is not intended to promote the recovery of waste for construction materials.

Quercus also issues such as the right to be applied, and the police, the landfill of waste building.
