Monday, June 5, 2000, ID#00-587-00022, Richard Moe, President,
National Trust for Historic Preservation. Taking Americas Past
Into The Future. (Recorded May 4, 2000)
The price we pay for not taking care of our past, says Richard
Moe, President of the National Trust for Historic Preservation,
is paid in higher taxes as we abandon infrastructure weve
already bought, in lost open space as farmlands give way to
development, and time, as we wait on freeways to get to our jobs
and home again. By contrast, smart growth means reinvesting in
existing communities, where city planners have already thought
through issues of density and diversity. In a model where work
can be wherever we are, why not preserve our existing
neighborhoods and cities instead of building ever further
outward?
Monday, June 12, 2000, ID#00-587-00023, Hon. Newt Gingrich,
former Speaker, United States House of Representatives; Founder,
Committee for New American Leadership. Living in the Age of
Possibilities. (Recorded June 6, 2000)
No matter what you think of this controversial former Speaker of
the House, theres no denying that Newt Gingrich blazed brightly
on the national political scene in 1994 when he brilliantly
engineered a coup that gave the House and Senate back to the
Republicans. His Contract With America was the vehicle, and the
message was about less government. Now, in 2000, the Democrats,
and especially President Bill Clinton, are desperate to win back
control of Congress. Gingrichs greatest asset in 1994 was his
ability to identify key districts and states to target, and as
we approach a pivotal election season hell share with us his
ideas on key strategies and the outlook for November.
