Stretch is clearly qualified to be on the commission if for no other reason than being an active citizen, but the fact that he is a successful business owner makes this dispute all the more insane.

I don't know why anyone would think that someone who has created a successful business without TIF would be a bad choice for the commission. I only know Stretch well enough to say "hi", but I was willing to withhold judgement on the MBE/WBE thing. It smelled like bullshit to me.
