Quote of the Day
“Klein and Thompson emphasize the issue of process — hearings, reports, lawsuits that chew up time and money — around projects small and large. Most of the laws that extend process were created to build trust in government. But if extended process leads to project failures, that undermines trust. In other words, perhaps we should be less process-oriented and more outcome-oriented.”
Sen. Brownsberger reflecting on the book "Abundance" by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson and how politics is plauged by planning, and needs more action.
