Doling out contracts to women-owned businesses…?

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

In my city, there is a huge new building being developed. (think stadium, casino, etc). It will cost $500 mil to build. The developers are handing out contracts at the rate of 35% of total cost to go to minority-owned and women-owned businesses. They don’t have the be the least expensive, or the most experienced: they need only be minority or woman owned.

What are your thoughts on this?

That’s going on in many places. Women-owned businesses also get privileged tax cuts or something tax related..I forget what exactly. Many women are saying how that’s only fair. It’s not fair, just one more special privilege women get based on thier $ex.

Here in Chicago though, the mayor says that any project that costs the city under $3 million, will go to a small business, regardless of race or gender. Which is how it should be done.
