PRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE
Once upon a time…
...is the phrase
that kicks off
children’s stories which were
the grist of my
youth and my
parent’s youth. These were stories first published in the early 1800s by authors like the
Brothers Grimm, included Snow White and
Cinderella (no, Walt Disney did not write the
original tales), Rapunzel and Little Red Riding
Hood.
Today, our governmental leaders in the Congress and White House are elected by tossing
out simple solutions to complex problems.
Their constituents are often distracted – like
now we are preoccupied with unemployment,
war and the roiling economy. We are fed a
steady diet of media panic de juor.
These stories were folk tales handed down
through the ages, from parent to child, not
only for entertainment but for teaching moral
values or to inspire optimism in a time when
there was not much of either to go around.
Polar icecaps melting? Polar bears disappearing. No problem: pass a law to cap greenhouse
gas emissions.
They did not have to have a complex politically-correct message. People telling them were
more often the victims of government than the
beneficiaries.
One common theme through these stories is
that there was a simple solution to the problem. Jack, after the magic bean grew to a beanstalk into the clouds where the giant lived
with his (apparently ill-gotten) gold coins,
gold-egg-laying goose, and singing harp. All
of these prizes were pilfered by little Jack and
when prosecuted by Mr. Giant, Jack was able
to bring the party to an end by using a simple
axe to cut down the colossus of the clouds who
– absent adequate fall protection – fell to his
timely demise.
Sleeping Beauty survived gastrointestinal induced coma protected by seven little men of
varying personal attributes and recovered by
the simple kiss of Prince Charming.
There is the story of the princess kissing the
toad and Arthur pulling the sword out of the
stone. There is usually one problem, one solution….
Those early stories held the attention of an
otherwise distracted audience – distracted by
disease, pestilence, death and calamity. They
gave hope to the listeners that there would be
a simple solution to their problems.
Politicians have resorted to fairy tale solutions
to satisfy our hunger for a cheap, simple and
expedient solution to any problem. The media
is the perfect vehicle for this simple solution.
Insurance bills going up? Indigent people using
emergency rooms for medical care? We can
fix it by turning the private health care system
over to the government or creating a state
property insurance company.
Union membership going down and pension
plans in jeopardy? Government will wave its
magic wand and give union organizers the Employee No Choice Act, so that employees will
not have to make an informed decision.
Customers not buying cars or appliances? Let’s
have a “clunkers” program to subsidize these
products shunned by consumers because they
perform poorly or just too expensive.
Each of these programs has advocates, both
Republican and Democrat, which propose
them as a simple solution to an audience that
wants an uncomplicated result.
We want environmentally sensitive electricity
production, cheap insurance for our buildings
in hurricane zones and a way to get from point
A to point B that’s fast and less crowded every
year. We want the economy to get back on the
highway and roaring at 90 miles an hour within
minutes of falling off the cliff.
We have had insurance programs for centuries,
some public and most private. Yes, a government program might reduce the number of
uninsured and make it cheaper for others to
afford, but at what cost. Eliminating private
carriers? Cutting benefits? Subsidizing the
bottom half by taxing those programs of the
top half? If medical specialists find income opportunities reduced below costs and held hostage by trial lawyers, will they leave their posts
for more lucrative jobs?
Social Security and Medicare are on the fast
track to insolvency. Coming up with a solution
to funding this safety net without alienating
most of the country’s seniors (not me, I am
middle aged) will require compromises, cost
sharing and tough decisions. That is not an
issue designed for leadership from someone
elected every two or four years.
We need politicians who can be leaders, and
I think the citizens of this country are willing
to let someone make those hard decisions.
The trouble is finding those leadership traits
among those who are elected based on 30 second sound bites with virulent and spurious attacks on their opponents.
The next time a politician says the problem can
be solved with a simple solution, think of Jack
and the Beanstalk. It is a fairy tale. Then keep
looking for a leader.
Given free reign, politicians will tell us there is
a simple solution to any problem. It comes in
the form of a magic lantern, a beanstalk axe or
a kiss from Prince Charming.
But adults should know better.
6
Nuclear energy plants have been built for decades and produce relatively cheap electricity.
But it takes 5 to 10 years to build one, moving
mountains of paperwork and impact studies,
and battling the opponents to growth. And
yes, when one is operating, there is risk, most
of which can be mitigated. Building windmills
will not solve our energy problem, either.
Solving our energy needs requires a complex
policy and comprehensive solutions to the unintended consequences. There will be winners
and losers.

E-VERIFY TOP 5 QUESTIONS
What is E-Verify?
E-Verify is a system that electronically verifies the
employment eligibility of newly hired employees.
E-Verify is a partnership between the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security
Administration (SSA). U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) oversees the program.
E-Verify allows participating employers to electronically compare employee information taken from
the Form I-9 (the paper-based employee eligibility verification form used for all new hires) against
more than 425 million records in SSA's database
and more than 60 million records in DHS immigration databases.
ABC and its members are strong opponents of the
employment of unauthorized workers and has been
a vocal advocate for comprehensive immigration
reform. ABC also supports the E-Verify program
as it was enacted by Congress in 1996 and subsequently reauthorized, i.e., a voluntary program expressly limited to the verification of social security
numbers of new employees.
E-Verify Top Five Questions
Why should I consider participating in E-Verify? E-Verify is currently the best means available
for employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees. EVerify virtually eliminates Social Security mismatch
letters, improves the accuracy of wage and tax reporting, protects jobs for authorized U.S. workers,
and helps U.S. employers maintain a legal workforce.
Building Florida’s Future
from every angle:uniquely qualified
East Ridge Middle School, Lake County
How do I register for participation in E-Verify?
You can register for E-Verify at https://www.visdhs.com/EmployerRegistration, which provides instructions for completing the registration process.
At the end of the registration process, you will be
required to sign a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) that provides the terms of agreement between you the employer, the SSA, and USCIS. An
employee who has signatory authority for the employer can sign the MOU.
I am an employer with multiple hiring sites.
Can one site verify everyone? How? Yes, one
site may verify new hires at all sites. When registering, the individual at the site that will be verifying
new hires should select “multiple site registration”
and give the number of sites per states it will be
verifying.

BUILDING CENTRAL FLORIDA NOVEMBER 2009
E-VERIFY TOP 5 QUESTIONS
I am an employer with multiple hiring sites.
Does every site need to enroll in E-Verify? No,
you can choose which sites to enroll.
What is the required timeframe for conducting an employment eligibility check on a newly hired employee? The earliest the employer
may initiate a query is after an individual accepts
an offer of employment and after the employee
and employer complete the Form I-9. The employer must initiate the query no later than the end of
three business days after the new hire’s actual start
date.
An employer may initiate the query before a new
hire’s actual start date; however, it may not prescreen applicants and may not delay training or an
actual start date based upon a tentative non-confirmation or a delay in the receipt of a confirmation
of employment authorization. An employee should
not face any adverse employment consequences
based upon an employer’s use of E-Verify unless
a query results in a final non-confirmation. In addition, an employer cannot use an employment
authorization response to speed up an employee’s
start date. This would be unfair treatment to use
E-Verify results to accelerate employment for this
employee compared to another who may have received a tentative non-confirmation.
Bella Collina, Montverde, FL
For example, Company X always assigns a start-date
to new employees that is two weeks after the employee has completed an approved drug test. After
the employee has accepted a job with Company X
and after the employee and Company X completes
the Form I-9, the company can initiate the E-Verify
query. However, the company cannot speed up or
delay the employee’s start date based upon the
results of the query (unless the program issues a
final non-confirmation, in which case the employee
should not be further employed).

achieving excellence in everything we do – from

stability and an unparalleled responsiveness to
customer needs have made KHS&S a solid favorite
for large-scale private and public construction
projects. For a complete overview of services,

Employers must verify employees in a non-discriminatory manner and may not schedule the timing of
queries based upon the new hire’s national origin,
citizenship status, race, or other characteristic that
is prohibited by U.S. law.

ECONOMIC UPDATE
Slight Dip in August for Nonresidential Construction Spending
Summary
Private nonresidential construction spending was
virtually unchanged in August, falling just 0.1 percent, according to the October 1 report by the U.S.
Census Bureau. However, compared to August 2008,
spending is down 10.5 percent. Total nonresidential
construction spending, that includes both private
and public, slipped 0.4 percent from July, and is
down 4.7 percent from August 2008 to $684.5 billion (see graph below). In addition, total nonresidential construction spending in June and July were
revised downward, from $711 billion to $700 billion
in June and from $703.8 billion to $687.6 billion in
July.
Among sixteen nonresidential construction subsectors, four posted increases in August with the biggest gains registered in manufacturing construction,
up 5.1 percent, and conservation and developmentrelated construction, up 2.5 percent. On a yearover-year basis, manufacturing construction is up
30.4 percent and power-related construction is 9.1
percent higher from August 2008.
Those subsectors with the largest losses from July
were water supply construction, down 5.5 percent;
amusement and recreation construction, down 5.3
percent; public safety construction, down 3.7 percent; lodging, down 3.4 percent and office construction, down 2.7 percent. Compared to August 2008,
lodging is down 36.1 percent, commercial construction is 33.3 lower and office construction is down
22.3 percent.
In contrast, residential construction spending continues to expand, up 4.2 percent in August, but still
down 26 percent from one year ago. Overall, total
construction spending is up slightly, 0.8 percent at
$941.9 billion, but still down from August 2008 levels.
What This Means
“The economic upheavals of the past two years are
leaving a permanent mark on the U.S.,” said Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Chief Economist Anirban Basu. “The nation has responded by
putting significant resources into retooling manu-

ECONOMIC UPDATE
facturing plants, enhancing energy production and
expanding infrastructure capacity.
“Some of this is attributable to the stimulus package passed in February, but much of this work is being done independent of government support and
is simply a response to an increasingly competitive
global economy,” said Basu.
“To the extent that these emerging and deepening
challenges are consistent with increased construction opportunities, the impact is beneficial. However, there remain aspects of the economy that
continue to frustrate potential construction opportunities, including ongoing job loss and restrictive
financing,” said Basu.
“Despite the widely held notion that the recession is over, job losses will likely continue for many
months to come, thereby diminishing demand for
new work space. In addition, access to financing
among developers will remain inadequate to permit commercial, office and lodging construction to
rebound anytime soon.”

Construction Materials
Prices Fall in September
Summary
Despite a modest gain in August, prices for construction material and supplies decreased 0.4 percent in
September, according to the October 20 producer

prices are down 8.2 percent.

2008.
a professionally designed and constructed
Crude energy prices fell 5.4 percent in September,
which is attributable largely to a 13.8 percent drop
in natural gas prices for the month. Overall, the
nation’s wholesale prices fell 0.6 percent for the
month and are 4.8 percent lower than September
2008 levels.
What This Means
“After rising for the previous month, the trend of
falling producer prices was reestablished in September,” said Associated Builders and Contractors Chief
Economist Anirban Basu. “There appears to be a
competition of forces impacting producer prices,
and the net result has led to reasonably small shifts
in prices on a month over month basis.
“The falling U.S. dollar, coupled with federal stimulus spending, is helping to support prices. However,
the generally weak economy and ongoing declines
in the volume of nonresidential construction are
consistent with falling prices,” said Basu.
“Though many markets continue to be battered by
a lack of construction volume, contractors are benefiting from a period of relatively stable input prices,
which allows for simpler pricing and bid submissions,” said Basu. “Nonetheless, the future path of
producer prices remains very unclear.
“Were the dollar’s decline to accelerate, producer
prices would edge higher. Still, as various stimulus
packages across the world wind down, it is quite
possible that producer price declines will become
more pronounced over the next six to eighteen
months,” said Basu.

LAYOFF PROCESS
Workforce Solutions: Managing
to Survive the Layoff Process
Knowledge and Experience: Our Building Blocks
Building a construction business takes more than bricks and mortar; it
Delivering the news of a layoff or organizational
downsizing may prove to be one of the most challenging tasks a manager can face. Despite the unfortunate fact that layoffs have become commonplace,
they remain a sensitive subject that often evokes
feelings of fear, distrust and pessimism among surviving employees. However, leaders can implement
several strategies to make the transition less troubling for their outgoing and remaining colleagues.
requires strategic planning, a solid foundation, and service partners with
industry experience. For over 20 years, Foley has dedicated resources to
serve the construction industry. Our Construction Practice attorneys offer
comprehensive legal services ranging from contract administration to
construction and design defense, labor and employment matters to big
claim litigation, environmental compliance, dispute resolution, and
insurance issues. We concentrate on reducing your risks so you can
focus on growing your business — ahead of schedule.
WORKFORCE CENTRAL FLORIDA (WCF) suggests
these solutions for managing the layoff process:
Communicate! Employees are less likely to be
“blindsided” by layoffs if their leaders communicate
information regularly about the company’s financial
position and priorities for the future. When the layoffs occur, share the reasons for the terminations immediately with remaining staff and explain why the
cutbacks were made and whether additional reductions are planned. Managers can also renew trust in
their remaining employees by describing their own
sacrifices like pay cuts and/or forgone bonuses.
Don’t Make it Personal. Instead of identifying individuals who need to be terminated, evaluate “functional silos” where staff members are under-utilized.
Align your head count with operational needs to create a more cost-effective workforce. Remaining employees are likely to recognize past inefficiencies and
understand the organizational streamlining.
Practice Respect. The loss of a job is a traumatic

Meaningful Medical
Liability Reform Is Essential
By Tom Donohue, President and CEO
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
October 6, 2009
The leading health care bills floating around Congress
all lack one essential ingredient--meaningful medical
liability reform. Why is that important? Because a
simple and effective way to reduce health care costs
is to reform the broken medical malpractice system
that enriches the trial bar, clogs our courts, promotes
defensive medicine, drives up health care costs, and
sometimes drives good physicians out of business.
Medical liability lawsuits add tremendous costs to
the health care system both in doctors' malpractice
insurance premiums and in defensive medicine--unnecessary tests and procedures prescribed solely to
avoid future lawsuits. Rapidly increasing premiums
have forced many doctors to move or even close
their practices, limiting patients' access to care in
some areas. The Department of Health and Human
Services estimates that medical liability reform and
reductions in defensive medicine could save up to
$500 billion over a decade.
Why has Congress been so hesitant to include medical liability reform in its health care proposals? It
may have something to do with the millions of dollars that the trial bar and its allies spent during the
last election. Unlike doctors, other medical providers, and insurance companies, trial lawyers aren't
willing to make any real concessions in the name of
health care reform. For the plaintiffs' bar, shared sacrifice ends at the courthouse doors.
President Obama recently acknowledged the problem posed by medical liability lawsuits, and this is
encouraging. However, the $25 million state grant
program that the administration offered in response
doesn't go nearly far enough. The American people
expect better--a national poll released by the nonpartisan public interest group, Common Good, found
that 83% of voters want Congress to include medical liability reform as part of any health care reform
plan.
Anyone who suffers an injury due to a preventable
medical error deserves legal redress. But there's a
distinction between malpractice and not being perfect. To judge the difference, we need real reforms
such as medical liability courts--similar to existing
bankruptcy courts--that would apply specialized
expertise to quickly and fairly resolve claims. Other
reforms, like putting a reasonable cap on noneconomic damages, would also help ensure fairness
for patients who are victims of malpractice, without
turning into jackpot justice. These measures would
discourage frivolous lawsuits, expedite settlements,
and lower legal costs.
The health care reform bills being debated have received a lot of scrutiny--and rightfully so! It's time to
ask our elected officials why trial lawyers get a pass
on health care reform at the expense of ordinary citizens.

DOL RESCINDS RULE THAT
ENCOURAGED UNION TRANSPARENCY
On Center The Department of Labor’s (DOL) Office
of Labor-Management Standards Oct. 13 officially
rescinded a final rule issued by the Bush Administration that imposed additional financial reporting
requirements on labor unions. The form, known as
the LM-2, is the primary financial reporting document for unions with annual revenue of more than
$250,000, as mandated by the Labor-Management
Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) of 1959.
“Today's action by the Department of Labor to rescind the LM-2 rule is a major blow to transparency,
accountability and the rights of workers,” said ABC
Vice President of Government Affairs Geoff Burr.
“The conclusions that the department reached and
expressed earlier this year were correct and supported by the LMRDA.”
The original rule, published Jan. 21 and initially
scheduled to take effect Feb. 20, would have revised
the current LM-2 form and established a procedure
to revoke the LM-3 form filed by smaller unions in
instances where filers submitted delinquent or erroneous reports.
“This rule would have served to strengthen the LM-2
financial disclosure form and further deterred the
potential for union fund embezzlement,” said Burr.
“The rule was necessary and its implementation
was needed in order to better carry out the department’s statutory mandate to combat union-related
corruption.”
Countless Successes.

DHS OFFICIALLY RESCINDS
NO-MATCH REQUIREMENT
(10/07/2009)Ashtead Technology The Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) Oct. 7 published a final
rule that rescinds the “no-match” regulation which
required a notice be sent to employers from DHS or
the Social Security Administration when an employee’s name did not match the Social Security number
provided.
DHS first issued its final rule implementing the nomatch regulation in August 2007, but a coalition of
business groups, labor organizations and immigrant
rights groups challenged the rule in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California. As a
result, an injunction was issued and SSA suspended
the distribution of employer no-match letters until
the lawsuit was resolved.
DHS July 8 announced its intention to rescind the
rule, which was still blocked by the court and had
not gone into effect.

LEARN HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR ABC MEMBERSHIP!
New member companies, new employees of a
member company and any member company
interested in a refresher session regarding the
benefits and services of membership are welcome to attend the ABC Central Florida Chapter
MAXIMIZE YOUR MEMBERSHIP meeting held a
half hour prior to each Lunchtime Barbecue at
the Bahia Shrine in Room D from 11:00 – 11:30
A.M.
Meet board and committee members. Topics of
discussion include: Networking Opportunities,
Education and Training, Legislative Affairs,
Business Development, Committee Information, Awards and Recognition, Marketing Opportunities, and Publications.
ABC members that believe the practice of sustainability extends past the jobsite can apply to ABC’s
Green Contractor Certification program, which
documents the efforts of members that are developing an environmentally friendly workplace environment.
To meet the needs of its green members, ABC’s
Green Contractor Certification program focuses on
the sustainability initiatives firms undertake in the
workplace, not on construction practices, and it
certifies companies, not individuals. To achieve certification from ABC’s National Green Building Committee, each company must submit an application
detailing its green efforts and undergo a third-party
on-site assessment.
“ABC members have been on the forefront of the
green building movement since its inception, but
ABC also believes in stretching green achievements
beyond the construction process and into the workplace,” said W. Brewster Earle, chairman of the ABC
National Green Building Committee and president
of Energy Services at Comfort Systems USA, in
Hartford, Conn. “The Certified Green Contractor
program is another step in ABC’s goal to provide
support and recognition for those members who
are setting an example for the industry by promoting green practices within the company and those
members who would like to create sustainability in
the workplace as well as in the construction practices.”
Each certified company must complete 13 prerequisites ranging from the electronic distribution of
documents to establishing an aggressive recycling
program. In addition, companies are required to
fulfill at least 12 out of 36 elective items that include
conducting a professional energy audit, engaging in
water conservation efforts and providing incentives
for carpooling or using public transportation. Each
company must also achieve four education and
training benchmarks, such as instructing employees on sustainability issues and requiring at least 25
percent of eligible managers to receive green building awareness education.
