Why should business care if the government agrees to repair roads and bridges? The answer to that question is more complex than you may think. But this week's Leadership Next guest lays it out beautifully. Andrew Liveris, former CEO of Dow, is co-chair of a boldface group of CEOs called Build Together. Their goal: to encourage bipartisan support of the $1T infrastructure bill. That bill passed the Senate - garnering support of all Democratic Senators and 19 Republicans - last week. Now, it's heading for the House.
Liveris explains why Build Together was formed and how it functioned. Alan Murray and Ellen McGirt also ask about what's next for the group and how the CEOs feel about the $3.5T soft infrastructure budget blueprint.
