Liggett, Graff &amp; McGovern, LPA www.GraffMcGovern.com discuss these topics

Legislative: Veto Override
The Ohio House and Senate overrode the Governor’s veto of six health care funding items in the state’s operational budget bill.
Administrative: OFCC Spending Millions
In August, the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission announced significant construction opportunities, with millions to be spent for schools using the Construction Manager at Risk delivery system.

Judicial: Public Lien Law
The 12th District Court of Appeals reversed a trial court in holding that a subcontractor’s Mechanics’ Lien against a public project will result in public agency liability for loss and attorney fees if it fails to escrow funds.

Administrative: OCILB Enforcement
The Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board routinely cites licensed contractors which fail to display their license number on their vehicles.

Administrative: OSU Adopts Construction Budget
At its recent meeting, the Ohio State University Board of Trustees adopted a construction budget of $165 million in its Fiscal Year 2018 Capital Investment Plan.

Judicial: Corporate Shield Ignored
The 6th District Court of Appeals upheld a trial court decision holding a contractor personally liable when he did not offer evidence of his corporate status. The contractor operated as a Limited Liability Company, registered and active with the Ohio Secretary of State.

Administrative: Ohio Construction Market Varies
A national survey of Construction Employment disclosed an 8% gain in the Columbus metropolitan area in the prior 12 months, while at the same time the Toledo area experienced an 11% loss in construction jobs.</googleplay:description><googleplay:explicit>No</googleplay:explicit></item><item><title>The Construction Conversation Podcast July 2017</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/user/10022164/construction-conversation-podcast-july-2</link><description><![CDATA[Welcome to our first Construction Conversation Podcast!
