Paterson steps up to “level the playing field.”

|

What do three of the last four governors have in common?

Promises to increase opportunities for minority and women owned firms.

Well, here’s something that shocking and how could it exist in a liberal state like New York?

We already know that New York is one of the most ethnically diverse states:

-Has the second highest number of women-owned businesses

-And New York has the third highest number of minority-owned business enterprises

Yet the reality is at the end of the day, when it comes to spending money with such businesses, New York State currently falls behind eight other states.
