Isn't a "Supplier Diversity Advisory Board" antiethical to what we believe as conservatives? While the governor can claim that this provides equal opportunity for all, what it really means is quotas and/or lowered standards. Shouldn't we, the taxpayers, do business with those who provide the best price/service, whether or not they are a minority of some type?
