During his 2008 campaign, President Obama famously mocked blue-ribbon panels and commissions:
"A commission. You know, that's Washington-speak for 'we'll get back to you later.' "
He couldn't have been more correct in the case of a panel that his longtime friend, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, D, ordered up in late 2008 to address the state's job market. The panel hasn't even met yet, the Boston Herald reports, because the commissioners have only just recently taken their jobs on it.

Government commission on jobs hasn’t met, two years after being created

Bet their pay checks have been getting cashed on a regular basis though.......
How can we get the legislatures and Congress to follow this commendable situation and never meet?
Best they never meet than meet and compromise.

You are absolutely correct. My mistake. It does not belong.
The commission was caught in recursion hell. Until they created their own jobs, they couldn’t create their own jobs.
pukes rule.
bet they got paid
