(Chicago Sun Times) — African Americans, Hispanics, women and Asians were deprived of at least $19 million worth of construction contracts in 2008 alone because of “widespread” fraud, abuse and mismanagement of Chicago’s minority contracting program, an internal audit concluded today.
Inspector General Joe Ferguson compared actual participation in the city’s minority contracting program to statistics reported to the City Council by the city Department of Procurement Services.
