Need to investigate center's contractor

I am a newer member of the community from Florida, and I have a construction background. Regarding "Center short-circuited, union says; Grand Wayne work defended" (Nov. 14):

The article stated that documentation will not be supplied because it contains information on how Gaylor runs a job. This is an insult to my intelligence and should be to any person with common sense. This leads me to believe that Gaylor Group is hiding something from the taxpayers.

The issue in question is not Gaylor Group's job-running skills, but how our taxes are being spent doing so. Is the correct material being used? Is it being installed properly? And if Gaylor has a history of paying below-legal wages, you have to question the knowledge of the people they hire. Are they qualified, and do they have electrical licenses? Can they install a multi-million dollar electrical system safely?

Deviating from regulations will cost more tax dollars and jeopardize our public safety. Our city officials need to investigate these allegations and rectify them if need be.
