Jennifer Granholm quoted in San Francisco Chronicle, October 21, 2013

Jennifer Granholm has a hard time convincing her public policy students at UC Berkeley to go into public service. “Why,” they ask her, “would we go and try to get a job in D.C., where nothing is getting done or worse-than-nothing is getting done, when the action is in the private sector? These are the people who are making a difference in people’s lives.'” Washington, she said, “is becoming completely irrelevant.”
