Lawndale : Contracting Law Rejected
- Share via

Councilman Dan McKenzie, who had proposed the ordinance, reluctantly agreed, but said something should be done to help residents, particularly the elderly, from being overcharged by unscrupulous contractors.
Mayor Sarann Kruse said the city would contact its state legislators to see if anything could be done at that level.
