Former HHS Director of the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization Named In Discrimination Suit

Debbie Ridgely, the former Director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) has been named in a discrimination suit. The lawsuit, Holmes-Martin, v. Sebelius, Civil Action No. 07-2128, is set for trial December 5, 2011. Civil rights groups are disturbed to hear of the discrimination claim brought against Ridgely. While employed with HHS, Ridgely was responsible for ensuring that small businesses were treated fairly and had an opportunity to compete and be selected for a fair amount of the agency's contracting and subcontracting dollars.
