Get Whitey's money, and give it to the minorities....nothing ever changes.
The quality of the work means nothing. It’s the skin tone of the workers that really matters. No wonder our “infrastructure” is going to hell. This “judge” needs his ass kicked.
The libs aren’t going to let a little thing like a voter-approved proposition or, Heaven Forbid, the Constitution, from interfering with their agenda.
Caltrans is a racist organization.
UNKO, when the laws are written with caviats that completely over ride their meaning, you have no law. So, let me get this straight, the (.)bama DOT said they would lose federal funding if they did not have a race discriminatory contracting letting procedure. So, the judge says, ok, therefore our state constitution has no say in this. When did federal REGULATION supercede a state’s constitution, yeah I know state law is below federal law BUT, this is not a law, it is a regulation. Somehow the 10th should be supreme here. Anyway, day by day we keep getting closer to Rev 2, in fact, we are in the final seconds count down.
Does this even make the news? I live and work in L.A. It’s pretty much wets vs whites here. Thank you so much white-guilt ridden liberals. You gave up our country to foreigners who hate us.
Here’s a novel concept. How about the company that does the best work for the best possible price gets the job.
Get Whitey's money, and give it to the minorities....nothing ever changes.
Well, this explains the highway 92 / 880 interchange that’s been a construction nightmare for years now.
Where the Japanese had their roads repaired in 6 DAYS after the tsunami, we have to go year, after year, after year of traffic jams and no perceptible progress on this heavily traveled route.
We are no longer a state that can do anything. Ugh.
Just more liberal activism from the bench in Taxifornia. The state is dead — just another liberal crap-pot, overrun by illegals and deadbeats that want to steal from what producers are left in the state. Businesses and taxpayers are leaving the state in record numbers, and the libs in Sacramento do not care. Sales taxes are well over 10% in some areas.
The Midas touch of liberalism has destroyed Taxifornia. And the scumbags that are left keep voting the liberals back into control. RIP Taxifornia. Once a great state.
“disadvantaged businesses”
Same as “business that suck?”
How level is the playing field for the white male owned construction outfit that is declined a bid? Just askin'...
This is just asinine.
They force you into hiring minorities. Not for their competence for their skin tone alone.
I once lost a $3 million dollar contract because I didn’t fully understand the impact of not hiring a MBE/WBE as an attachment to my proposal.
My proposal was superior in every way to all others and when I lost I was flumoxed.
So I called the University and was told I would have won had I only included a MBE/WBE.
Completely asinine.
The winner of the bid ended up being over budget and way over time to the point it cost the university and students a whole lot of time and their classes were severely impacted.
They called us up and wanted us to takeover. I told them they insisted on a minor and ridiculous point that caused this problem and I wasn’t interested in managing someone who wasn’t my employee, wasn’t trained by my team and probably wouldn’t work towards our expectations.
It took them another year before they finally finished the project.
California is a mess and deserves whatever comes its way.
Since the escape clause existed in 209, did this judge have much choice?
This quota scam enrages me. For a historical perspective, the Y/N by county on 1996's Prop 209, approved with a 10 point margin, only L.A. & the Bay Area voted no:
When the “justice system” fails to dispense
justice, alternative means of achieving justice
will be pursued. It remains to be seen how this
will play out.
It isn’t profiling when they do it.
There is plenty of liberals in California who would like to start a major push to drive out some of the more unwelcome minorities these days.
If it wasn’t for the government pushed quotas,the other preferential treatment that went to their way(at times),I don’t see Blacks ever being able to function in a State as shallow and biased as California.
