New NY Law Aids Women, Minority Biz
(The Business Review) — Using a downtown Buffalo coffee shop that’s owned by an African-American woman, New York Gov. David Paterson signed a new bill into law that encourages more investment in minority and women-owned businesses across the state. The bill, championed by Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes, D-Buffalo, now ensures that minority and women-owned businesses will have an equal shot at bidding on state contracts. The law actually was signed by Paterson in June, but he came to the 2nd Cup coffee shop Buffalo in what may be his final local stop before leaving office next month, for a ceremonial “signing” on Peoples-Stokes’ home turf.
