TAX-FUNDED, so I'm guessing these were minorities and women-ONLY that were TAXED for this?
WHITES ARE MINORITIES NOW, KATHY HO-SHILL !!!!

Well, at least it is just renovation rather than design and construct. with some good luck, they won’t remove any load bearing components.

Non minority contractors should still make credible bids. When they are denied based on race or gender, they can demonstrate harm and their lawsuits will be more likely to succeed or stop the biased project entirely.

Wasn't a woman-owned engineering firm responsible for the pedestrian walkway bridge that collapsed 6 years ago at Florida International University?

Can you imagine a politician in today's world mandating that a $2.3B contract be awarded exclusively to white-owned businesses?
Of course the dirty little secret is there is no thing as 'white'. Almost all so-called 'white' people are a mix of races and ethnic groups. IMO it's racist to even call them white.
Blatant violation of the constitution.
In a sane world, this racist and sexist act would get nuked and people would go to prison.

All this nonsense needs to challenged constitutionally, or it won’t go away.
To: allendale
I totally agree. Wouldn’t it be something if Trump’s kids put in bids?

Its a contract for regular construction companies, who put up a well-connected, Democrat black front-man/woman for the job, pay them 10%, and act as sub-contractors.

From my experience, how this works is even worse than you would think. In general, there are no competent minority contractors who could take on a project like this. So the minority contractors get the no bid jobs, then bid the work out to the competent contractors who were locked out of the bidding in the first place. The minority contractor takes their cut and adds their overhead. The taxpayer gets soaked.
