On Monday, President Biden signed the infrastructure bill into law, which means Massachusetts is set to receive around nine billion dollars in federal investments. With such a large influx of money, how can the state make sure we maximize this opportunity and spend it in the right ways?

Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick joins us to discuss the opportunities and pitfalls of such a significant influx of federal money.
