Dear Mr. Esnaola,
 
Lorenzo asked me to forward on this information to you - Allegedly, California High Speed Rail Authority isn’t hiring enough minority-owned contractors (according to a lawsuit being filed by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights). Maybe CHSR will make a big push for MBE suppliers to avoid the bad press. Unfortunately, the Lawyers’ Committee is pushing for the government to delay funding to the HSR project until this is investigated.
 
Here are a few articles about it:
