Sen. Sessions Speaks on Importance of E-Verify
Friday, February 27, 2009

Mr. SESSIONS.

Published:  

While some still doubt if workers building the city’s new fire station are legal, the question on whom should make sure publicly-funded projects are following employment laws seems to rest in the hands of the Anderson City Council.

That’s thanks to a charge by former Clemson City Council member Margaret Thompson.
