In “Public-Private Partnerships Hinge on Tax Policy” Fawn Johnson of the National Journal discusses a policy memo released last week by Diana Carew, economist at PPI. In this article Johnson notes that public-private partnerships are becoming less partisan and more of an across the aisle issue. Johnson also elaborates on Carew’s memo, particularly Carew’s argument for changing the tax code in order to foster more public-private partnerships.
“Increasingly, however, public-private partnerships are becoming a topic of conversation among Democrats, another signal that the Eisenhower, big-government highway era is over. (We’ve known that’s been coming for several years.) Last week, the Progressive Policy Institute, a Clinton-era think tank, released a policy memo making the case that public-private partnerships are a good way to supplement our infrastructure needs without relying on the government to fund everything.”
