"The Trump administration is abandoning an Obama-era plan to ensure local hiring for public works projects, according to a new report. The New York Times reported on Friday that the Department of Transportation will withdraw the plan, which was proposed in 2015 and was supposed to take effect Friday. The initiative would have allowed cities to ensure local residents get to work on federally funded public works projects. The move appears to be part of the White House’s ongoing push to slash federal regulations."
