FORTUNE MAGAZINE'S COLVIN MODERATES
INDUSTRY LEADER PANEL ON FEDERAL, STATE ISSUES
Top Member Firm leaders expressed strong support for public-private partnerships (P3) but cautioned that they
are a funding mechanism, not the funding solution.
"What is often lost is that the first P in P3s is for public," said Greg Kelly, president and CEO, WSP USA.
"The first dollars in funding have to be public."
AECOM Chief Growth Officer, Americas, Vahid Ownjazayeri, urged the administration and Congress not
to ignore proven funding vehicles. "There used to be a substantial infrastructure budget. Let's put that back first
and then let's talk about the $1 trillion," Ownjazayeri said.
The states have realized that they can't rely on the federal government, Atkins North America CEO George
Nash said. "We are very encouraged by what we see in state ballot initiatives on gas taxes. There has been a real
ramp up in state funding," he said.

CONGRESSMEN OUTLINE TOP CAPITOL HILL CHALLENGES
Three congressmen agreed that the long-sought GOP repeal and replacement of Obamacare, along with
meaningful tax reform and substantial infrastructure investment, are the top issues facing Congress today.
"We're talking now about moving some of the health care funding partnership to the states and
restructuring the delivery of health care," Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., said. "But coming up with a plan
that suits everyone is just very, very difficult." Meehan said the two parties will likely find more common
ground on tax reform.
Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., said that while certain parts of Obamacare can be improved, "Democrats
are united on the fundamental premise that the federal government should subsidize health care for those
who can't afford it, and that it should be paid for through tax increases on those who can."
Infrastructure investment enjoys bipartisan agreement, Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., said. "But it will
be difficult to make progress while questions remain unanswered on projected savings from health care
reform and tax reform."
