Gov. Ed Rendell yesterday suspended a 2-week-old state policy requiring prevailing union wages for municipal and state road repair projects. The new policy, instituted by the state Department of Labor and Industry, caused a storm of protest from local elected officials and Republican legislators, complaints that Mr. Rendell heard firsthand during the annual convention of the Allegheny County League of Municipalities on Saturday at Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Somerset County.
