Tom McNamara, Blueprint America
Prior to introducing the National Infrastructure Bank Act of 2007, Sen. Chris Dodd (D., CT) and Sen. Chuck Hagel (R., NE), now retired, had served as members of the Commission on Public Infrastructure at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C.
Beginning in 2004, the commission, chaired by former Sen. Warren Rudman (R., NH) and Felix Rohatyn, former investment banker, chairman of New York’s Municipal Assistance Corporation and U.S. ambassador to France, outlined a new approach to prioritizing, financing, and managing infrastructure. The work on that commission gave way to the Dodd-Hagel Act.
Following his work on the commission, Rohatyn published, Bold Endeavors: How our government built America, and why it must rebuild now. Recently, the author sat down with Blueprint America to discuss the future of infrastructure investment in America.
