In the press release issued yesterday (3/10/09), Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality says:
“Van Jones has been a strong voice for green jobs and we look forward to having him work with departments and agencies to advance the President’s agenda of creating 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources. Jones will also help to shape and advance the Administration’s energy and climate initiatives with a specific interest in improvements and opportunities for vulnerable communities,”

Since August 2008, there was mild speculation that Mr. Jones would be coming to Washington if there was an Obama victory in November. We could use more eclectique citizens in DC.
