July 9, 201511 yr Paper today says they are in a law suit with another company claiming they were scamming to get jobs that they could not get because they are not minority owned. Created a shell company to get minority contracts with the city. Another shady businessman who got greedy. This is a new one for me. Is this kind of like affirmative action for businessmen or something? How does this work and is it necessary in that world?
July 9, 201511 yr This is a new one for me. Is this kind of like affirmative action for businessmen or something? How does this work and is it necessary in that world? Happens in a lot of industries. Put a woman or a black as the president of your company and you can bid on and probably win all sorts of government contracts.

July 9, 201511 yr Happens in a lot of industries. Put a woman or a black as the president of your company and you can bid on and probably win all sorts of government contracts. Ahhhh, okay. I see. It only applies to government contracts and I'm guessing the government contracts are normally the better contracts to have. Gotcha. Government has to keep it PC and "equal". I see. Thanks for the info. I never knew this.

July 9, 201511 yr This is a new one for me. Is this kind of like affirmative action for businessmen or something? How does this work and is it necessary in that world? It's absolutely true. They're called "set-aside contracts", or "inclusional contracts". MBE - Minority Business Enterprise WBE - Women's Business Enterprise DBE - Disadvantaged Business Enterprise SBE - Certified Small Business Enterprise 8(a) - Certified Socially or Economically Disadvantaged VBE - Veteran Business Enterprise DVBE - Disabled Veteran Enterprise There are quite a few more designations...but those are the ones I can rattle off off of the top of my head. Dealing in government contracting, inclusional contracts are everyday business for me.

December 8, 201510 yr Five months after FBI agents raid Evans Landscaping, criminal probe is not finished - Insider - Story NEWTOWN, Ohio -- Some of the $18 million in property owned by well-known Newtown business owner Doug Evans, who is the target of an FBI probe, may now be sold as part of a recent divorce settlement. A Hamilton County judge signed an order on Nov. 19 allowing Evans and his wife, Stephanie, to sell property that each is entitled to under a divorce settlement agreement. Since the settlement has not yet been filed in court, it is unknown what, if anything, will be sold. But a court hearing is set in the divorce case on Dec. 21. Evans, the hardscrabble owner of Evans Landscaping, has been collecting property for more than 20 years and is Newtown’s biggest landowner. He controls more than 800 acres, including the purchase of Ivy Hills Country Club in 2014. He owns industrial warehouses, farming land, parcels adjoining railroad lines and hilltop land overlooking the Little Miami River that was once owned by George Washington. Yet his real estate ventures have stalled in 2015 with his impending divorce and a raid by FBI agents on Evans Landscaping facilities in Newtown, Anderson and Mt. Carmel on July 7. Although it has been five months since agents arrived in unmarked cars to collect evidence from a sealed search warrant, they said, there has been no update in the case and no charges have been filed. Rick Smith, supervisory special agent in the FBI’s Cincinnati office, could not comment on the case. But he said that white-collar criminal cases take a long time to investigate and “five months is not a lot of time.” The raid is focused on minority enterprise business issues, said Ben Dusing, who is Evans’ attorney. “We share a common goal which is to help them (FBI) uncover the facts and discover the truth in as expeditious manner as possible,” Dusing said.
