A long-standing program in Houston that awards city contracts to minority-owned businesses has been deemed unconstitutional. This decision came after a lawsuit was filed by a white couple in 2023. The couple, who own landscaping businesses, claimed they faced racial discrimination due to the program.
The ruling was made by U.S. Judge David Hittner, who sided with the couple. Further details about the case and the ruling can be found through Houston Public Media.
