On the evening of December 7th, former United States Senator and New York Knicks hall-of-famer Bill Bradley presented a number of assorted stories on Sports and Politics for the Eagleton Institute of Politics on the Douglass Campus Center at Rutgers University.
Whether passing legislation or shaping national opinion, Bradley would focus his time on large-scale reform while serving in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1997. He also ran for President in 2000. He was the driving force behind the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which lowered tax rates for millions of American and closed billions of dollars of special interest loopholes. He advocated expanded global trade and federal budget priorities that bolstered the national economy and met critical human needs.
