Transportation Commissioner Weinshall To Resign, Join CUNY
in response to reader comment: Commissioner's qualifications?

Submitted by Reenee, Jan 14, 2008 09:51

People are afraid to check out who these commissioners and appointees and the politicians who tthey are married to. They rarely stay on for any length of time - cause they are always looking for the next opportunity at a different institution or foundation. A good way to save money for government budgets, community institutions and foundations would to have them work for free or volunteer. After all, they are paid well with power and pleanty of other perks.
