Reallocate Racial Disparity Study Money to Remodeling Projects? Champaign County Board to Vote on Issue Thursday by Kimberlie Kranich
Email: kakranich (nospam) yahoo.com 17 Aug 2005
The Champaign County Board will decide tomorrow night if it wants to reallocate money previously appropriated for a disparity study towards remodeling office space at the Brookens Administrative Center that some say could ultimately involve hiring female and minority-owned contractors. 
Read the full article... www.ucimc.org

Don't sit by and let the County Board take this money and build up their comfort level at the expense of minority vendors.  See the article above for background info.  This money should be earmarked for educational purposes to build the number of minority and women-owned business in Champaign County.  We have seen this type of stuff in the past.  According to them, it in illegal to give set asides to any particular group, yet they claim this "pre-qualified vendors list" will address the problem of the disparity in the county in doing business.  Please help us, we have a possible jail expansion, fund relocation, and continued policies that aversely affect the communities of color.  See you at Brookens tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m.  Please share this information with your constiuents.

Peace,

Sis. Carol
