Doesn't this keep repeating decade after decade? When I first moved to the city there was a scandal involving then SuperIntendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson. Looking it up now to refresh my memory: "she did not do enough to protect nearly $2 million in public money that inappropriately awarded to businesses by the district contracting program....Goodloe-Johnson trusted program manager Silas Potter and his supervisors to run the program ethically...The program promoted district partnership with companies owned by women and minorities.Eakes report follows on the heels of an investigation by State Auditor Brian Sonntag's office that found $1.8 million in payments to small businesses that offer no benefit to the district....The attorney presented her findings to the Times editorial board Friday, where she told editors that she found that program largely benefited African American businesses."
An oversized chunk of the district, and city's, problems revolve around appeasing black community leaders at the expense of common sense, good management, and doing what is most beneficial to everyone.
