Senate Majority Leader Dean Florez will deliver opening comments on California’s efforts to renew its aging infrastructure and create jobs. On November 7, 2006 California voters approved over $42 Billion in General Obligation Bonds to fund transportation, flood control, school construction, housing, and water supply protection. During the ensuing three years, projects have been identified and prioritized, funds have been allocated, bonds have been sold, and some projects are under contract. This fourth forum in the series will bring together representatives of major program agencies to discuss how the bonds are being used and the impact of the current financial situation on debt-funded capital construction. The Keston Institute for Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy believes that California infrastructure policy can benefit from an open and continuing discussion of the most significant commitment to infrastructure funding in California in decades.
