Frank Wolf, Ineffective Copycat

Frank Wolf held a jobs fair in Leesburg last week.

Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA-10) will be hosting another 10th District job fair this week, this time at Harper Park Middle School in Leesburg.

More than 40 federal agencies and private sector companies are scheduled to exhibit, including Cox Communications, Middleburg Bank, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, Prince William County Police and Telos Corporation. – Leesburg Today

Funny thing about that, Supervisor Kelly Burk did that first, back in April.

We have 40 business ready to hire summer high and college kids. Everything from the Washington Airport Authority to retail stores. Please help me spread the word about the Job Fair, April 10, noon to three at 211 Cactoctin Circle. – Kelly Burk

A difference, of course, is the fact that it is young people who are suffering the worst unemployment in this recession. So, Supervisor Burk targeted her job fair to those who need the most help. Kudos to Supervisor Burk for identifying a specific problem, and developing a solution.Frank Wolf’s job fair was simply another in a long line of photo opportunities. How can it be otherwise when Loudoun has a 4.9% unemployment rate, half of almost anywhere else. Of course, even with low unemployment, many of our neighbors are still looking for work. And yet, Frank Wolf is one of the staunchest supporters of expanding the H1B visa program, which is rife with abuse.

It’s not about jobs with Frank Wolf. It’s about appearances.
