S1E85 - Erika Sugarmon and Charlie Caswell; Shep Wilbun and Van Jones
Episode Notes\n
Guests include newly elected County Commissioner's Erika Sugarmon and Charlie Caswell from District's 6 and 12 respectively. As first time members, they will tell us why they ran and the particular issues moving forward that are most important to them. Next, the issue of equal opportunity bid contracts for minority and women owned businesses had been put aside for a while but is now back at the forefront. Shep Wilbun, Equal Opportunity Compliance administrator and Commissioner Van Jones join me to discuss a new minority business program in county government that will be more labor intensive to make sure contractors getting a share of county contracts are hiring and paying minority and women-owned subcontractors on time. Also, the MWBE efforts to equal the bid contracts for minority companies. That and more on an enlightened RTM.
