Declaring yourself a Minority!!!!!!

........I'm confused.....is this two different Terry's......>>>

Jed, I think there is two different Terry's. I am probably the old Terry since I haven't been on RCS in the last 3 years. I have recently come back, an since I've been back I don't think the other Terry has been on. As Mike H and Egg would call me I'm Terrry, don't ask that was to many years ago.>>>

Oh wait, the other Terry has recently made a post an I guess I was directing my answer towards her/him. I guess the way you can tell the difference is the other Terry is (I am roofer) and Terrry is (Commercial/Residential) sorry for the confusion. Terrry>>>

If you are going after government work then by all means make your declaration, it doesn't mean that you will get the contract but it puts you on a even playing field, which I still have trouble figuring out. I do not quote government work.>>>

Well which one of your coached wrestling?>>>

I am the one that coached wrestling. Seems like a lifetime ago!>>>

Ya Mike I was wondering what you were talking about.....Terrry>>>

Ok, now I gotta get my mind wrapped around all this. And the wrestling/"I'm a Roofer" Terry lives in PA, is that right?>>>

I'm Terrry from Michigan -Residential-Commercial....now do you remember me?>>>

Mike you probably remember me better as Duro-Last Terrry>>>

Along this same vein, does the government still have small business set asides. In years past, you would qualify for this program if you did less than 3 mil. over a 3year period. And there were many,many projects perhaps the majority of 1mil or less. Problem was that these mandates were not enforced. We lost several jobs to large outfits, even after questioning their validity, but, unfortunately, skullduggery prevailed. This program should not be confused w/ minority set asides - as it was provided to aid legitmate small business. What ticked me off the most on minority set asides, whose ultimate purpose should have aided the minority workforce in general, are minority companies who brokered everything and had not one single minority employee.>>>
