California's Future Economy
Kevin Klowden, Kevin Demoff, Charles Harrington, Paul Markovich, Betty Yee
Hosted by the California Center for Regional Economics, a panel of leaders from Blue Shield, Parsons, the LA Rams, and the Controller's Office examined the intersection of infrastructure, healthcare, and human capital in shaping the state's future economy. Panelists identified critical challenges including healthcare costs suppressing wage growth, automation threatening tax revenue sustainability, and the urgent need to secure aging infrastructure against cyber threats. To address these issues, the group advocated for public-private partnerships like the Inglewood micro-city project, expanded workforce training initiatives, and blended funding models to maintain California's global economic leadership over the coming decades.

Paving the Way to Next-Generation Infrastructure
Dale Bonner, John Delaney, Charles Harrington, James Pass, Jim Pass, Chuck Harrington
Following an ASCE "D+" rating and significant underinvestment compared to China and India, the proposed Infrastructure 2.0 Act seeks to capitalize a $50 billion private-sector fund by eliminating tax deferrals on overseas earnings and lowering the corporate tax rate. This legislation aims to generate $170 billion in revenue to secure long-term transportation funding and incentivize state-level public-private partnerships through conditional allocation. By leveraging $500 to $750 billion over fifty years, the plan addresses critical permitting bottlenecks and skill gaps to restore U.S. competitiveness and drive economic growth through high-fiscal-multiplier investments.
