Chairman Barry Sedlik of the Green Collar Jobs Council announced today the launching of a new blog Online to keep the public, reporters and Green public-private partners up to date on the newly

created California council.

California stands in line to receive its chunk of a $838-billion economic stimulus package, which is before Congress. The funds are expected to go for energy innovation, and money for highway construction and other infrastructure projects.

But Sedlik told about 80 representatives from local job resource centers and state and local agencies that attended a symposium last month at the Southern California Edison's Customer Technology Application Center, deemed "Meeting of the Minds" by its sponsors at the Los Angeles County Workforce Investment Board.

"My biggest concern is that a green job becomes a bridge to nowhere," Sedlik told the Pasadena Star News. "We need to make sure these are sustainable jobs and not just jobs in response to a short-term economic package." For the full article by Ryan Carter visit:
