Consortium faces new CETA rule wrinkle in Linn County
The Department of Labor proposes a rule that would limit prime sponsors to hire only residents from their own 50 000 plus unit, threatening Linn County's CETA consortium. Larry Harmon notes Cedar Rapids would hire only locals and Linn County would hire non Cedar Rapids residents, hurting county residents. Labor officials alternately say Linn County consortium may be excluded or included. Harmon says the department will comply while seeking changes before April 1.
