How Can Local Governments Build Public Trust?

Speakers: Dina Graser and Pamela Robinson

The national infrastructure deficit has been estimated at close to $400 billion, and much of it rests at the municipal level. Before local governments can raise these funds – through taxes, fees, or other revenue sources – residents must trust that the money is needed and that it will be spent wisely. On September 7, Dina Graser and Pamela Robinson will present findings from their new paper, which explores the notion of trust in government and sets out five key ingredients for achieving it.
