Executive branch agencies in Gov. Charlie Bakerâs administration boosted their spending with minority-owned businesses by nearly $20 million in fiscal year 2020, pushing minority contracts to account for more than 6% of the stateâs discretionary spending for the first time since 2015, according to data obtained by GBH News.
Overall, Baker s cabinet agencies â such as the Executive Office of Education and the Executive Office of Health and Human Services â reported spending just under $300 million with minority-owned vendors out of a total $4.8 billion in discretionary spending, or about 6.25% of their budgets. Those totals do not include quasi-government agencies like MassPort, MassHousing and the Convention Center Authority.
