TranscriptWhat is the state of America’s infrastructure? What’s the road ahead? And would comprehensive reform really deliver a major economic punch?
Lori Esposito Murray, President of the Committee for Economic Development at The Conference Board, joins us on CEO Perspectives to answer this and more. In episode seven, Dr. Murray sat down with President and CEO Steve Odland, to discuss infrastructure reform.
As Dr. Murray details, any comprehensive deal will face numerous challenges, despite bipartisan agreement that the nation’s water, transportation, and energy systems are in immediate need of an upgrade.
Tune in to this podcast for insights on:
A clear definition: What, exactly, do policymakers mean when they talk about “infrastructure” in an advanced economy?
Understanding the players: What role does the federal, state, and local governments each play in infrastructure projects?
Footing the bill: At a time of record national debt, how can a broad-based infrastructure package be paid for in a way that is fiscally responsible?
The lightning rod tax increase: Why is there intense controversy surrounding a gas tax to finance infrastructure reform?
Where America stands globally: Among its competitors worldwide, how does America fare on the infrastructure front
