Construction Workers Have Beef With ‘Pig’ Remark

As a carpenter who worked in Beverly Hills for many years, I resent the remark by Mayor Les Bronte that all construction workers were “pigs.” (“Hammer Time,” Dec. 20).

We are quite proud of our work, although it can get a little messy at times. You must admit the finished product looks pretty good.

So, Mayor Bronte, when you drive through your beautiful city, just remember it was you who said it was built by “pigs.”

These are the same “pigs” that have built the Beverly Hills mansions for the last 60 years and are still doing so. If they don’t want the “pigs” around, they should stop issuing building permits.
