Donovan --

Failing to obey a prevailing wage law involves a contractor stealing
from his employees. It doesn't matter whether the underlying law makes
good economic sense (it does), but when submitting a bid, the employer
must make a good-faith claim about what he intends to pay his
employees. If he does not then pay the employees that rate, then the
contractor is transforming money due to his employers into money from
which he will profit.
