I'm sure they subcontracted the job to the most underpaid minorities they could find, hence the low bid. But honestly, I have no idea. I drove past there the other day. It looked like only middle aged white dudes, but I was a little busy driving. What does it matter as long as they're U.S. citizens and spending their money in La Fayette?

As for blacks in government jobs, one would have to ask themselves if the blacks in La Fayette are actually trying to get those positions. One could say all day long that La Fayette is racist, but still the question of there being any qualified blacks actually applying for these jobs exists. The topical answer, in my opinion, would be no, but you should research that for us "gstown."

Also, something seems fishy about all of these Maples contracts being the lowest bids. I think it's more like lowest colluded bid between the City of La Fayette and Ken Maples. I may be wrong, but I'd still like to see the paperwork.

My guess would be that Ken Maples & Son Construction company employees are doing the job. Duh?

Who they has working for them would be their responsibility, not the city or State.

Well, that's a completely random comment. I guess you can find someone to complain about anything for absolutely no reason at all. What does the roof have to do with being a minority? I guess if a "Minority" company would have been the lowest bidder, then they would be building the roof.

Are there any minorities working on this project? Especially blacks! I grew up in LaFayette and I can't believe that there are very few minorities that work in city offices, or on other projects. Is any government money involved in these projects and the city and state jobs? Just wondering!!
