Bureaucracy: Hard Ball Politics
Guest: Marc Farinella, Democratic strategist and
policy expert
A discussion with Marc Farinella, a former Governor Chief of
Staff, a successful Democratic strategist and policy expert, and
now the Chief Operating Officer, The University of Chicago Harris
School of Public Policy, about the reality of major change in
public policy at the state or national level. Ask questions
about the inevitable winners and losers in the proposed change, the
role of lobbyists as proponents and opponents of any change and the
role of organizations and grass roots groups in change
discussions. Explore the impact of money and the media and
the Citizens case on the innovation playing field How does
all this policy change really happen and is the gain worth the
pain. Marc will provide us with a NO HOLDS BARRED discussion

or media questions or concerns you may have.
