Black caucus asks set-asides hearings
2005
Overview
A second measure is being drafted that would help small minority contractors who are squeezed financially because of slow payments from the state. Sixty-one days after a bill's submission, the contractor could be paid the amount owed by a cooperating bank, said Sen. Kimberly Lightford (D-Maywood), head of the Senate's black caucus. The bank ultimately would collect from the state and would qualify for a service fee equal to 1 percent of the amount, she said. Earlier this month, politically connected contractor James Duff pleaded guilty to defrauding the city after his janitorial company, Windy City Maintenance, won $100 million in contracts by claiming to be female-owned. The [Richard Daley] administration since has been embarrassed by revelations that another Duff firm was involved in delivering road salt to the city and that a company owned by the sister of a former mayoral aide supplied materials to a white-owned company for a project at O'Hare International Airport.
