Turley: Boehner, Pelosi blew it on killing House Page Program Paul Bedard © Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP Former House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, left, kisses Nancy Pelosi of Calif., right, in the Rose Garden in 2015. In 2011, the duo killed the fabled House Page Program.
It was written up as the end of an era when House Speaker John Boehner teamed with then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to ax the House Page Program.
But in the first full airing of his unexpected move in late 2011, Boehner said that not only did members not care, it almost went unnoticed.
“We had pages for the fall 2010, spring of 2011, and we had summer pages, but when it came time in the spring to start appointing pages for the fall, we just didn t do it. And so, we got back after Labor Day, and there were no more pages, and guess what? Nobody really missed it,” he said in an interview.
