Rep. Tim Moore, R-Elizabethtown, said he, too, is frustrated by the slow pace which the House has addressed the budget shortfall and believes the General Assembly should look for cost-cutting measures rather than new avenues of spending. He said there are other ways to cut expenses that the General Assembly is avoiding. For instance, Moore said the state’s prevailing wage — a median wage paid to workers in a specified location — puts an additional expense on the price of every construction project in the state with no just cause for doing so.
