ASM also utilized its Biennial Dinner Gala to present its 2013"Legislator of the Year" award to Massachusetts state senator Michael Rodrigues (D-Westport), the primary sponsor of ASM's retainage reform legislation that would cap retainage at 5% on private work.
This issue holds particular significance to Rodrigues, as he owns ABC Flooring Co. The audience at ASM's Biennial Dinner Gala appreciated his comments upon accepting the award, and his steadfast support of retainage reform and other policies supportive of the commonwealth's subcontracting industry.
