But it has no formal affiliation with the College.

Re. Larry Williams's comment: We are for free markets and limited government. If you think that makes us right wing, that says more about your outlook on the world than ours. - Fergus Cullen, Yankee Institute, fergus@yankeeinstitute.org For clarification re Denis’s comment: Larry Cohen did good work for Yankee as a former director, but has not worked directly with Yankee for many years (like, close to a decade).

The ad mentions "corporate welfare," but if they are indeed interested in that -- and I'm skeptical -- that would be the only project with a leftward slant that you'd get to do.

The Yankee Institute is the conservative think tanker, lobbying, activist outfit that Larry Cohen is part of and may have started. He's great fun and enjoys advocacy journalism from his point of view. This could be interesting for someone with "an entreprenuerial mindset," as they say. Hi.
