Feds: Contractor lied about using minority businesses at St. George Ferry Terminal renovation

A former manger of a construction firm lied about using minority-owned businesses, as required, on multimillion-dollar contacts for renovations at the St. George Ferry Terminal and the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, allege federal prosecutors. Aaron Tubbs, 43, of upstate Hastings-on-Hudson, was charged with wire fraud stemming from the scheme, which occurred in 2008 and 2009, according to Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
