Fox News Sacramento interviewed DEA Senior Vice President John Hogan, P.E., about ASCE’s Infrastructure Report Card for California. ASCE gave the state’s infrastructure a grade of C-. During the interview, John explained that the C- grade comes from a prolonged lack of funding.
As John said, “Things are not going to get better by themselves. The state relies on the federal government for a good portion of our infrastructure funding. We don’t rely solely on them … but the federal government really needs to set the standard by coming in and providing the lion’s share of funding for big infrastructure projects.”
John is a past President of the ASCE Los Angeles Section and an ASCE Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient.
Watch the interview to find out more about why federal funding is essential to repairing existing infrastructure and building for the future.
