ACEC’S ENGINEERING INC. — The Legislative Engineer

Thursday, March 22nd, 2018

“I believe we need more engineers in elected office across the board. I talk to a lot of engineering groups and to engineering students, and I always encourage them to get involved in politics, whether they are going to run for office or not. The fact is the laws and rules propagated by those in elected office can have a lot of impact on engineering careers and what happens with the economy. It’s just important that engineers become more involved. I don’t know the exact number of engineers currently in Congress, but I do know there are two engineers who were just elected by special elections—Ron Estes, R-Kansas, and Greg Gianforte, R-Montana.”

Aside from the year-end sprint to pass tax reform, it has become next-to-impossible to enact major legislation in several areas, including transportation, water infrastructure and energy. Expectations for 2018 nonetheless, remain high.

ACEC’S ENGINEERING INC. — Can P3s Rescue U.S. Infrastructure?

Wednesday, December 6th, 2017
Public-Private Partnerships: The Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse, Long Beach, California

Over the last decade, it has become increasingly clear that America’s infrastructure requires a significant upgrade. Roads, highways, bridges and tunnels have decayed and deteriorated—sometimes to the point of catastrophic failure. Yet, with tax dollars limited and funding for projects largely declining, finding a way out of the mess has been extraordinarily difficult.

“It has put the spotlight on public-private partnerships,” states Lee Weintraub, chair of public-private partnerships and vice chair of construction, law and litigation at Becker & Poliakoff.
