My Colorado small business is heavily dependent on federal contracts.  

The federal Government is supposed to set-aside at least 23% of all contracts for small businesses.

I just learned

that Blackwater, the Mercenary outfit that I’ve battled in federal court, and whose employees threatened my life for instigating that court case,

holds itself out to be a small business.  

How ?

Well, those Mercs that work for them aren’t employees, after all.  They are Independent Contractors.

Does this comment belong here ?  Colorado politics ? Maybe not, but this is where I thought to vent.  Sorry. Maybe I should ask Ari to add it to the morning news summary.
