re: Mayor Broomes (BR) to announce consulting firm for $300,000 disparity study next week

Heres a much better way to spend 300k...Hire a business school teacher to host a 10 week nights and weekend small business class for lower class/minorities etc. If you complete the program and submit a business plan which is approved by the business school teacher, you get a 10-20k grant. The top 2 students get a 50k grant.

More than half of the money will probably be wasted but out of all the applicants, you’ll probably end up with at least 2-3 fully functional minority owned businesses as opposed to 300k being flushed down the commode.

Obviously not spending this money in the first place is the responsible decision but if the money must be spent, why not try to at least attempt to have something to show for it?
