Roster now needed for City Contractors
By Erica Guidetti

Wilmington City Council passes a Business license ordinance in hopes it will aid contractors bidding for city jobs.

The new rules make it hold General Contractors responsible for a roster card listing all subcontractors they use on city jobs.

This will help make sure city wage tax is being paid and valid business licenses are obtained. Councilman Bud Freel says its all about fairness.

Freel added it can help prevent contract lowballing from companies knowing their subcontractors were not licensed or paying wage tax.
