John Tierney\xa0joins\xa0Seth Barron\xa0to discuss the Trump administration's plans to reform\xa0how\xa0infrastructure projects are managed and funded.

Civil engineers and other experts (including\xa0here\xa0at\xa0City Journal) have warned for years that the country's roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, and rail\xa0lines are in\xa0serious\xa0need of repair. Thanks in part to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, infrastructure is now at the top of the national agenda.

But does the Trump administration actually have a workable strategy for infrastructure? John Tierney\xa0discusses the promise of the administration's fresh approach, which breaks from past efforts in reducing Washington's role. He wrote about the plan in his\xa0City Journal\xa0article, "Trump's Infrastructure Opportunity."

Tierney\xa0is a contributing editor\xa0of\xa0City Journal\xa0\xa0and\xa0a contributing science\xa0columnist\xa0for\xa0the\xa0New York Times.
