The League ...You need to focus on the Urban League. The League was receiving $500,000 per year from the City of Seattle as well as WASDOT and Seattle Public Schools funding. Several 100 thousand dollars in Monorail money was given to the Urban League to develop the infamous "data base" that the School District was supposed to have spent $25,000 to access. Where is the money or the results of the spending? The minority businesses did not benefit from this - ask them. Ask the Urban League to produce evidence of results. The public entities contracted in good faith looking for a way to help these small businesses compete on public works, the minority businesses came hoping to increase their capacity and build strong businesses and all they got was lip services. A lot of money flowed through the Urban League intended to assist these businesses. Follow the money folks.Truthoutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-36674552714259307912011-03-26T09:07:50.604-07:002011-03-26T09:07:50.604-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
