Infrastructure Bill Done: What’s Next?
President Biden is expected to sign into law the bipartisan infrastructure bill and Speaker Pelosi expects the US House to pass the Build Back Better package at any moment this week. The bill continues being widely popular, but faces headwinds in the Senate. Will the CBO release the final cost on time? Are the historic investments in social programs and climate change still in it? Are Democrats united? Analysts also ponder the ramifications of the world climate summit.
Guests: Jose Lopez Zamorano, News Reporter, Washington, DC; Others TBA.
Frontline Communities in Charge of Climate Action. Faced with the urgent need to act on climate change now that it receives more attention at COP26, in Washington and in the US, a new report concludes that a groundbreaking California program that put communities in charge of fighting climate change and building resiliency could be a national model for climate action. A leading researcher explains this model.
Guest: Alvaro Sanchez, Vice President of Policy, The Greenlining Institute, Oakland, CA. (TBA)
