You say you've got a company with 35 years experience building & repairing roads? Sorry. We can't use you. As of last year we are reserving 85% of our contracts for minority-controlled companies.

What? You say women are not a minority any more just because they outnumber the men? Doesn't count. They're a minority when it comes to building roads!

p.s. Don't laugh: this is how business within the City of Portland is handled today!
