We invest in our future.

The 500 billion euro special asset is now arriving exactly where it is needed: in our municipalities, cities and counties. Right in people's everyday life.

We all see every day where there is a need for action: in schools and kits that need modernization, on roads and bridges that have come into years, in health care, and in digital offers that can improve.

That's where we're starting.

In recent days, the Lower Saxony state government has determined how the funds will be distributed among the municipalities. This is an important step so that the money arrives locally quickly and in a target manner.
I think it's right that the municipalities can decide for themselves what to use the money on. Because on the spot you know best what is needed.

We welcome thought leaders from all levels of government to our Annual Meetings of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. In Long Beach, I loved engaging in a bipartisan conversation with California Governor Gavin Newsom and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria. And of course, the Governor is a former mayor. “Once a mayor, always a mayor,” he recently said.

Though power may seem attractive and a solution to many of life’s problems, it is often found to be a trap by those who attain it. When seeking roles of authority, do not allow the luster of power to blind you from seeing its risks and demands. Seek not power, but the positive changes that your power can create in the lives of your fellow humans. ▲
