Show-Me Institute Opens Its Doors

There is a new free market research and education institute in Missouri -- The Show-Me Institute.

Here is their mission statement "The mission of Show Me Institute is to research, develop and advance public policies that enhance economic growth and opportunities for all residents of Missouri."

Since its founding last spring The Show-Me Institute has been busy publishing position papers on Education, Fiscal Policy, and Property Rights:

• School Choice: A Truly Intelligent Design
• Tax Hike is Unfair to Smokers
• Law Enforcement Shouldn't Profit from Forfeiture
• Eminent Domain Destroys Affordable Housing
• Missouri Needs a Taxpayer's Bill of Rights

The Show-Me Institute could very well end up being a valuable source of research material on issues in Missouri for Libertarian candidates.
