Sat, 01/02/2010 - 10:35

Yesterday, John Liu was sworn in as New York City's first Asian-American City Comptroller.  He took an ambitious tone promising among other things to provide for an equitable distribution of contracts as well as oversight on the city's budget.  A major problem with said contracts is the lack of these contracts awarded to minority owned businesses.
