do the koch brothers and chamber of commerce and business round table, are they determined to destroyepublican party in this election? ed: they are certainly going to try. donald trump got elected to being a change agent. it meant he would not do what the chamber of commerce and the business round table and what those people wanted. they have gotten a big, big tax cut already. that will benefit people long term and short term. but the reality is other issues like immigration the country wants changes on and the president is out front. this president in a short period of time has taken charge and made americans take notice. even people that are detract tores are saying to me, there is a lot of stuff there he need to do. he's making these countries redo deals. he's standing up to the iranians. he'll dump that plan in a couple of weeks. and he certainly, 3, 4 months ago we were discussing the potential of a real war. it's his action, nobody else's action that's done that. lou: it's interesting for people to think about this. north korea, iran, russia, china, look what this president is c

so we work with all of the chambers of commerce. we send out to all of the registered businesses, we hold open houses for upcoming work. we do literally as much as outreach as we know how to do. and the frustration, i think, that we see on this commission -- that the commission feels is that after we do all the outreach and the work with cmd to figure out how the work can get distributed to maximize lbe participation, get the word out to businesses that we're interested in seeing, minority and diverse contracts, once we put the bid specs out, it's the lowest responsible bidder that wins, and the lbe program is neutral to race and gender. so while cmd specified what the make up is, and president brandon is right, there are a lot of mbe's in this arena, we come to you with the lowest responsible bidder and recommend that award, and there's nothing else that we will do at that point. but we will continue to think about what we can do differently and how we can see this area grow and do better, but we are bound by that city contracting r
