HAMILTON, Ohio -- A construction business coalition has complained to state officials that a local masonry company should not be allowed to build new public schools in Hamilton because the company allegedly uses illegal immigrant workers.
During a meeting of the Ohio School Facilities Commission, held earlier this week in Columbus, a researcher with the Ohio Construction Coalition sharply criticized Mason-based ABC Precision Masonry & Concrete.
The researcher, Al Adams, read a statement to the commission claiming that ABC Masonry has a history of hiring illegal immigrants and should not be approved as a contractor when the commission votes to award contracts for Hamilton's four new elementaries - or any other public school project in Ohio.
