Op/Ed: Injustice No. 2: WBE's Get Fleeced In State Bid

Wayne Frazier — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 19:01:31 UT

Over at the Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA), another super duper injustice has occurred. Sisters and brothers, I mean, this is bigger than the Maryland Aviation Administration/Shuttle Bus debacle because three out of four contractors who submitted hard bids on an $89 million road construction contract met the stated minority and women business enterprise goals and the winner did not in a recent bidding process. The issue is that the recommended prime contractor with the lowest bid did not meet the stated minority and women business enterprise goals and requested a waiver.

Investment Banking 101 Part One: What is an Investment Banker?

Henry A. Garner, Jr., MBA — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 16:41:06 UT

When most people have a legal question, they consult the advice of an attorney. If they have a tax problem, they consult a CPA. Who do you call if you have a question concerning raising capital? Most would respond, “ I’d call my local banker” and would be technically right in their answer. However, this limits your source of funding to just one. A better reply would be to contact an investment banker. These individuals have numerous relationships with traditional (banks) and non-traditional (private lenders, wealthy individuals, or insurance companies) funding sources and can help you determine which is right for your situation and needs.
