Publisher’s Note: OhioMBE is starting a Wall of Shame. We are going to call out the publicly funded entities that are not willing to even meet with small and minority owned businesses let lone provide contracting opportunities. If entities receive public dollars they are obligated to engage ALL in procurement opportunities. In essence, people of color can reside and pay taxes in public suburban school districts and cities but they are not included in purchasing practices. How can publicly funded entities be too busy to explain their purchasing procedures and opportunities to taxpayers? Just my thoughts…rwb
