NY: Questions raised on Cuomo contracting push
Times Union: In October 2014, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that New York would again lead the nation in a progressive policy push. Following the passage of the nation's first same-sex marriage legislation and the country's toughest gun law, the state would become the first to direct 30 percent of public contracts to women- and minority-owned businesses.
"We will hit 30 percent and we will tell all the other states, 'You follow us,'" Cuomo said to cheers at a forum in Albany.
Cuomo said the initiative would level a playing field warped by entrenched discrimination. But critics say significant problems have emerged for state agencies and contractors.
