Puerto Rico's Infrastructure Reniassance - David %Aacutelvarez on Public-Private Investment
"People were thinking that we were just selling the schools," head of Puerto Rico's public-private partnership program David %Aacutelvarez admits, "we explained that the private sector was just building and doing infrastructure." "You've even run TV commercials," Reason's director of government reform Leonard Gilroy responds, "how many of you have seen TV commercials in your jurisdiction on some new innovative government program?" Through Puerto Rico's Public-Private Partnerships Authority and public communication, %Aacutelvarez works to modernize government programs and public infrastructure through the private sector investment. %Aacutelvarez spoke at Reason Weekend 2012, Reason Foundation's annual donor event, which took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Under Luis Fortu%ntildeo governorship, the PPPA has revitalized pubic schools, re-managed waste treatment facilities and toll roads, and continues to push to reform government's oversight of the Luis Mu%ntildeoz Marin International airport and juvenile correction centers. %Aacutelvarez takes Q%A from the audience 30 minutes in. About 43 minutes. Filmed by Joshua Swain and Anthony Fisher. Edited by Swain.

Coming June 28: The Declaration of Independents!
The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong With America, by Reason's Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch, will be published by Public Affairs on June 28. Pre-order your copy now of this season's only political manifesto that name-checks the shock-rock band GWAR's album This Toilet Earth; argues that the survivors will envy the dead in a world where the choices are John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi; and embraces gay marriage, drug legalization, open borders, and casual Fridays. Written with an engaging touch, The Declaration of Independents puts the pursuit of happiness at the center of a 21st-century American dream while providing an idealistic yet pragmatic blueprint for a country that is tired of debt, recession, and war. Read this book to learn why: * Political independents are the largest voting bloc in America and will determine the 2012 election%mdashand whether the country goes belly up. * We need independence not just in politics, but from politics. We can't pursue happiness if our federal, state, and local governments are bankrupt%mdashand controlling every aspect of our lives. * Innovators in everything from air travel to craft beer to pop music show how individuals can be trusted to come up with exciting and fun new ways of radically improving living standards. * The three areas of our lives most controlled by politics%mdasheducation, health care, and retirement%mdashare the most broken, and can't be fixed simply by spending more money and exerting more ...
