> CGC to NYT: Infrastructure Investment is Answer
>
> Coalition for Green Capital (CGC) CEO Reed Hundt and General Counsel Ken Berlin told The New York Times in a letter to the editor this weekend that proposals to provide a lower tax rate for repatriated funds should be tied to infrastructure investments.
>
> CGC's letter is available here. They were responding to a June 26 editorial in the Times, "Whose Stimulus?" that criticized plans for corporations to repatriate funds by redirecting funds to domestic investments.
>
> Their letter said these two ideas could be linked with an auction that "would be held for the right to repatriate $100 billion, less than 10 percent of the funds held abroad." The clearing price would be the highest tax that firms would be willing to pay and they would place "all or or part of the remainder in an infrastructure bank and receive shares in the bank in return."
