“This proposal would be a game changer for the men and women in the building trades,” Local 57 President James J. White said. “Building and modernizing classroom-to-career facilities means good construction jobs for our members right now, and a stronger workforce pipeline for years to come. We know Helena is the person who can actually get this done, and we are proud to stand with her and support her for governor.”

Helena Foulkes outlined a portion of her economic plan which proposes a $100 million bond to fund classroom-to-career facilities.
