Today, the New York Times ran a letter to the editor from American Small Business League President, Lloyd Chapman regarding a letter to the Editor dated June 19 from Acting Administrator of the Small Business Administration, Jovita Carranza.
Carranza's letter stated:
"The S.B.A. helps small businesses get government contracts. In 2006 (the last year with published data), small businesses reached a record level of federal contracts. Small businesses owned by women experienced their largest year of growth and hit a record level. Small disadvantaged businesses (generally minority-owned) hit a record level.
The S.B.A. has also led tough-minded efforts to improve the integrity of small business contracting data and to tighten the rules to qualify, reducing the value of contracts coded as small business by more than $10 billion, increasing new opportunities."
In his letter to the editor Chapman maintains that Carranza's statements are misleading and easily refuted by hard evidence from the SBA's own Office of Inspector General.
