I ran across a situation caused by the Minority Hiring and Blah, Blah, Blah Law. Company A, capable of doing a large cement job, was contracted, providing they had X members of minorities. They promised to contract them. So Company A subcontracts a part of the job to Company B, minority owned. The job sub-contracted was for 40 feet of a 600 yard long walkway. Company B got twice as much money for the 40 feet, and subcontracted the 40 feet to a white concrete guy. The 40 feet, altogether, cost 1/8 of the whole job and a minority never entered the job site.
Millions and millions of tax dollars were wasted in this same fashion on the building of the runways in Atlanta, Ga. I know of $2,500,000 in contracts let to minorities that never hit a lick on the darn job, and that was just in hauling the dirt!! The Big Dig in Boston is the same crap, and we wonder where all the money is going!! If we know this, then why in hell doesn't the government know this? Could it be that maybe some of those clowns are on the take too? It couldn't be....could it?
