Central Corridor construction made news Sunday: Hiawatha Line contractors paid millions of dollars to settle federal claims of misleading filings and failures to use diverse firms in construction. The Star Tribune now reports that three of those companies are at work on the Central Corridor. You can help HIRE Minnesota & MUUSJA's Racial Equity workgroup hold these companies accountable for future performance by joining us at the next Central Corridor Affirmative Action meeting! We need to pack the room with citizens - no experience needed, just your eyes, ears and concern!
