Romney rips NLRB "cavalier" attitude; agency beyond rogue

Blogging from Denver, Colorado.

Mitt Romney is tearing in to the radicalized-NLRB in regards to its recess-appointed general counsel, Lafe Solomon.

From a campaign statement:
President Obama has allowed the National Labor Relations Board to run roughshod over America's job creators. Recently released emails from NLRB officials, including General Counsel Lafe Solomon, reveal a disturbing and cavalier attitude about job losses that are a direct result of NLRB policies. If President Obama is serious about getting America back to work "right now," he should start by immediately dismissing Mr. Solomon and sending a message throughout his administration that our country's jobs crisis isn't a laughing matter."
Solomon may be the final piece to make the rogue agency dictatorial.

From Business Insider:
The National Labor Relations Board anticipates that in the near future it may, for a temporary period, have fewer than three Members of its full complement of five Members. The Board also recognizes that it has a continuing responsibility to fulfill its statutory obligations in the most effective and efficient manner possible. To assure that the Agency will be able to meet its obligations to the public to the greatest extent possible, the Board has decided to temporarily delegate to the General Counsel [Lafe Solomon] full authority on all court litigation matters that would otherwise require Board authorization…
So the man who jokes about ruining the American ecomomy could get the power to possibly do just that.
