Reply #12: California-based Small Business League:

[emad]

From the story link:

But the shelving of the proposal was spotted by the California-based Small Business League, which asked if "the sudden elimination of this issue is a further indication that large corporations are already demonstrating their ability to influence the Obama administration".

The League was also disappointed that Mr Obama has dropped a reference that expressed concern that federal contracts designated for small businesses were being awarded to major corporations.
