Job creation dropped from spending Criteria

Back in Washington, however, ABC's ever-vigilant Rick Klein reports on a mystery: It seems that about 10 days ago job creation was quietly dropped as a major criteria for rating proposed projects for potential funding over at the Department of Energy. Even as grumbling grows about the glacial pace of recovery (jobs) from the once much-vaunted funding.

Not only do jobs no longer matter in choosing projects to get money, but power grid upgrade project officials need only report the jobs quarterly.

A department Q&A asks: "Will DOE use the number of jobs estimated to be created and/or retained as a criterion for rating a proposal for funding?” The answer: "No."
