THUR: Lee, Boehner, Scott, Cantor to Meet on 99ers Bill - Page 2 257716

It is encouraging that Boehner & Co. are keeping their promise to meet, in the promised time frame ("Within the next few weeks"), even with the government shut-down looming.

Apparently meeting cancelled due to possible shutdown Sad

Today 9:01 AM White House Shutdown Talks Preempt Boehner Meeting On 99ers

THUR: Lee, Boehner, Scott, Cantor to Meet on 99ers Bill - Page 2 Twitter-bird-mini

HuffPost's Arthur Delaney reports:
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) had to cancel a planned meeting with Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Bobby Scott (D-Va.) to discuss possible legislation for the long-term unemployed on Thursday.
Instead of chatting about “99ers” – people who’ve exhausted 99 weeks of unemployment benefits without finding work -- Boehner’s heading to the White House Thursday afternoon for more shutdown talks with President Obama.
“We’re disappointed Speaker Boehner had to cancel the meeting,” Lee spokesman Joel Payne said. “We hope it can be rescheduled for next week.”
