In Perino’s post, she suggested a healthy blend of apolitical or bipartisan experts to give valuable insight into restarting the economy.

See for yourself:
I think we need a 2nd task force assembled at direction of POTUS to look ahead to reopening of the economy. Made up of a nonpartisan/bipartisan mix of experts across industry sectors, so that we have their recommendations & plan – let 1st taskforce focus on crisis at the moment.
