On June 25, Common Good launched a campaign to cut “legacy” red tape to enable the federal government to confront the range of challenges it’s facing, from policing to pandemic preparedness to crumbling infrastructure and failing institutions. Leading the effort is Philip K. Howard, who has recruited former politicians such as Mitch Daniels and Bill Bradley, social theorists such as Jonathan Haidt and Yuval Levin, and healthcare academics such as former Johns Hopkins President Bill Brody and former Harvard Medical School Dean Jeffrey Flier. The Washington Examiner’s J. Grant Addison spoke with Howard ahead of the launch. The following is a condensed version of their conversation.
