A Times investigation that found more than $300 million went to contractors with thin claims of Native American ancestry.
that found more than $300 million in contracts were awarded to businesses whose owners made unverified claims to being Native American.
Rep. Judy Chu asked whether it was “normal” for an agency to wait five years before advising its staff on how to implement fundamental changes.Chu said she would ask the GAO’s office — a nonpartisan agency that conducts investigations for Congress — to look into whether the SBA has been adequately vetting tribes and their members.
The Times found major failures in the nation’s efforts to help disadvantaged Americans by steering municipal, state and federal contracts to qualified minority-owned companies. In many instances, government agencies have not vetted those companies to protect the interests of taxpayers and legitimate minority contractors.
The Times found that the process for certifying minority businesses was often spotty, with officials accepting flimsy documentation of Native American heritage or unverified accounts that the contractors suffered discrimination because of their ethnicity.
