Witness claims whites profit from minority contracting program
Senate subcommittee heard that firms controlled by prosperous white individuals took most contracts under a minority program. William Bolling testified 51 percent of stock in each firm was minority owned, yet whites managed operations and captured about 90 percent of profits. He cited earlier unbid contracts totaling $50 million and noted no effective action followed. Several cases and personnel changes were discussed, including an investigation into a New Orleans district director and a probe of Expedient Services tied to a 43 percent stock transfer for contracts.
