Spending $200K/year to hire an additional FCC pr person is the wrong signal to send a budget-cutting Congress that nearly shut down the government. Since Jen Howard moved on as Julius' spokesperson, the remaining FCC pr people have demonstrated they were up to the task. The Chairman's #2 advisor, Josh Gottheimer, is a world-class communicator from Burston Marsteller and Ford Motor Company.
Not the right message to send when the budget deal is cutting $890M from community health centers.
Update, since someone asked. No, the salary for the job is not $200K. That's the grossed up cost of the position.
Second Update: Rob Kenny, who has been filling the post on an "acting" basis, resigned to go to private shop Mercury. Living well is the best revenge.
