Businessman and venture capitalist Jon Moynihan is a fierce opponent…

When Jamez Staples of north Minneapolis started a solar energy company about 10 years ago, he thought it was a great opportunity to create jobs for others in low-income communities. Staples: “I thought it was going to be easy. I thought, you know, just get up, go to work, find people who want to work, and we'll be fine.
