Reply to comment by TheGazzelle in MTA spent twice as much on Second Ave subway consultants as it did on its construction by NYY657545

Ask consultants and it is well known that such and such MBWE is in a wife's name but basically run by a guy who is a lead at another firm.

Yeah exactly. Put a regular or noncompetive company in your wife's name (or give 51% to a random minority owner) and now all of a sudden they get $30m-100m contracts on these government projects, then they drag out construction and make mistakes because they aren't very good but the government is forcing us to use them. Happens on literally every government job.
