This is a positive step to equalizing the playing field. Too many firms were established just for cashing in under the preferential treatment because of sex and race. Abuse of the system followed immediately. It is time for corrections back to pure competition and merit based business.

The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program was created by the U.S. Congress. Congress established the program to ensure that small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals have an equal opportunity to compete for federally funded transportation contracts. The program was initially enacted in 1983 under the Reagan administration.
