Panel III: Building For the Future
Hon. Gary Locke, Governor, Washington State (1997-2005) "The priorities of government approach is not only relevant in tough fiscal times. The problem with government is that we just don't set priorities."
Carol Galante, President & CEO, BRIDGE Housing Corporation "We need public investment in these urban locations in order to get housing to go there in more compact densities."
Stephen Levy, Director and Senior Economist, Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy "To strengthen the social contract, we have got to struggle with our connections."
Lisa Margonelli: Irvine Fellow, New America Foundation; Author, Oil on the Brain "Our concept of what 'green' is right now is really focused on buying things.Most of that is not accessible to moderate-income families."
Micah Weinberg moderated the third panel and introduced Gary Locke. Locke compared California's current budget outlook to his experiences as Governor of Washington State, outlined his "priorities of government" approach to policy decision-making, and argued that education must be the top priority of state governments that are truly looking toward the future. Carol Galante followed by discussing her firm's efforts to build housing for Americans of modest means, noting in particular its focus on urban infill development, and calling for "breaking down the silos between public investment and infrastructure." Stephen Levy made the case for public investment across a broad range of categories, and argued that renewing the social contract requires strengthening intergenerational, interethnic, and interregional connections. Finally, Lisa Margonelli outlined her strategy for democratizing green energy policies and investments and offered specific policy solutions for how to increase the number of stakeholders in energy efficiency.
