Los Angeles (Pasadena)
Measure TT, a $350 million |

Measure TT, a $350 million bond approved by 75% of voters during Obama-mania on November 4, 2008.
NAACP is the front group for this one. They want to emulate how San Gabriel USD did it.
We want to improve our local economy and it was our local residents who supported Measure TT,\" Diaz said. \"When locals work on a project it becomes a source of pride.\"
Brown said those negotiations show the district appears to be intent on using local labor, but that won\'t stop him from keeping the pressure on the Pasadena Unified to follow through.
Brown hopes the district takes an approach similar to that taken by the San Gabriel Unified School District.
Officials there want to assure local workers benefit from projects funded by bond money, said Dr. Susan Park, district superintendent. The San Gabriel Unified district board is drafting project labor agreements. Under the agreements, the district can force contractors to hire a certain percentage of local workers, she said.
