Show Notes
Cuyahoga County faces a significant challenge as federal rules eliminate goals for minority and women-owned businesses in contracting, following President Trumps executive orders. Local leaders like Councilman Pernel Jones Junior argue this is blackmail, as these goals have been in place for over a decade to promote fairness. The county continues to run its equity department and shares contract forecasts, while other entities rebrand or cut programs. Tensions rise as the county navigates this shift, balancing federal rules with long-held goals for fair competition.
