Today the Press reveals how it is shocked, shocked! to find that Proposition 2 has decimated the participation of minority and women-owned firms in public construction.
Uh, wasn't that the whole point?
Is the Press also shocked to find minority enrollment declining at the state's elite educational institutions? Maybe they should have thought about this before endorsing this despicable ballot initiative that was driven to passage by bigoted money coming from outside the state.
Inexplicably, the Press then goes on to applaud minority favoritism offered by private contractors for projects like the Van Andel Institute.
So what's it going to be? Is it OK to help minority and women-owned firms or not? If it's OK for private firms to "discriminate" why not the Government?

This one, Fred, you ought to send to the Press. It's not a trivial contradiction. If they think they misjudged, they should say it, and if not, what's the difference supposed to turn on? Public/private, education/business, or white collar/ blue collar? (We hate to see perky Jennifer Gratz have to attend Wayne State Law School.)
