The document discusses the looming crisis facing the Highway Trust Fund and its impact on state transportation programs. It provides examples from several states (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California) that describe how funding shortfalls would significantly impact their ability to fund new transportation projects and could even force them to suspend existing projects. States rely heavily on federal funding for transportation which supports thousands of jobs, but the trust fund may be unable to support any new spending in 2015 without congressional action.
“If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.
The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience.
If this sounds too mystical, refer again to the body. Every significant vital sign- body temperature, heart rate, oxygen consumption, hormone level, brain activity, and so on- alters the moment you decide to do anything… decisions are signals telling your body, mind, and environment to move in a certain direction.”

VOTE FOR DAVID IGE - GOVERNOR STATE OF HAWAII
A Leader for Hawaii
It is a privilege of HSTA to recommend Gov. David Ige for four more years as governor because he has been a leader for human and civil rights as well as a strong advocate for Hawaii’s public schools, teachers and keiki.
~ Corey Rosenlee, President. Hawaii State Teachers Association (HSTA)
Powerful interests opposed David Ige in all of his efforts - interests that value short term profit over Hawaii's long term security. But Governor Ige never once backed down.
~ Colin Yost, Chair, Executive Committee, Sierra Club of Hawaii
Governor Ige is the people’s candidate. Governor Ige is committed to government accountability, oversight of government contracts, cracking down on tax fraud and increasing affordable housing.
~ Dayton Nakanelua, State Director, United Public Workers (UPW)
Local 5 is endorsing Governor Ige in his re-election campaign because he has been loyal to Hawaii’s working families. He shot down the NextEra merger with Hawaiian Electric, which would have been disastrous for working families who already pay way too much for utilities and can’t afford to pay more.
~ Eric Gill, Financial Secretary-Treasurer, UNITE HERE Local 5
Hawaii Mayor Harry Kim - Endorses Governor David Ige
Kilauea erupted with a force none of us have ever seen. Governor Ige responded without any hesitation. The Governor told me, "This is when people need us and we better dam well come through." He coordinated all of his Departments, the military and the National Guard which is unbelievable and its continues today because the emergency still goes on. I say thank you Governor because he came through, he came through.

Cities and states have slashed spending on infrastructure—from highways to sewage systems to police stations

A sharp pullback in spending by cities and states on infrastructure—from highways to sewage systems to police stations—is weighing on U.S. economic growth.
Such government austerity is unusual in the eighth year of an economic expansion, and it is acting as a headwind just as the worst effects of the energy-industry bust, a strong dollar and inventory drawdown are fading.
State and local governments spent an annualized $248.47 billion on construction in August—the least since March 2014 and down nearly 11% from its recent peak in mid-2015.
The decline depressed gross domestic product growth this spring and was on track to weigh on growth again in the third quarter.
“We’re seeing anemic [government] revenue growth and consistent austerity-oriented budgets,” said Gabe Petek, managing director for state ratings at S&P Global Ratings. States are trimming investments in infrastructure and higher education, “areas of the budget helpful for generating economic growth going forward,” he said.
In Kansas, officials this spring delayed 24 road-construction projects
to help balance the state budget.
The more than $500 million in work had been slated to start between this year and the end of 2018, including expanding U.S. 50 into a four-lane expressway near Dodge City.
Instead, the state will spend money to maintain existing roads. “We want to make sure the roadways we currently have are in the best condition as possible,” said Joel Skelley, director of policy at the Kansas Department of Transportation. Total state and local government spending last year accounted for roughly 11% of U.S. economic output, four times as large as federal nondefense spending, and swings in public investment can have outsize effects on the growth rate. The Commerce Department will release its first estimate for third-quarter GDP on Friday.
ENLARGE
Many state governments have yet to fully recover from the recession and associated steep declines in tax revenue. In late 2015, inflation-adjusted tax revenue was lower in 21 states compared with the peak before or during the recession, according to Pew Charitable Trusts.
The situation doesn’t seem to be improving. Preliminary data indicate that state tax revenue fell 2.1% in the second quarter from a year earlier after advancing just 1.6% in the first quarter, according to the Rockefeller Institute of Government. The recent drop reflected mixed stock-market returns and slowing growth in sales-tax collection and paycheck withholding.
Revenue declines restrain the ability of state and local government.

Are Public-Private Partnerships the Solution for the U.S. Infrastructure Issue?CBIZ, Inc.
While many typically associate the buzz-word "infrastructure" with crumbling roads and bridges, the issues are far more pronounced than what we see on our daily commute. There have been increased calls for public-private partnerships to alleviate or mitigate the ever-growing list of problems with U.S. infrastructure. The shape and structure of those partnerships, however, is a different story.
