Take My Job, Please

We've got a major change coming here at the Maryland Budget and Tax Policy Institute. In the coming days, we will start a search for a new director (yep, the job that I presently occupy).

The job announcement, when it is ready, will be posted here. It is a great job, with tremendous opportunities for accomplishment and satisfaction (my top 2: working with advocates and legislators to create and expand a refundable earned income credit in Maryland, which now provides about $75 million a year directly into the pockets of our low-income neighbors with children; and -- okay, there are about 10 things tied for number two. One of which is closing that Delaware Holding Company tax avoidance scheme).

The list of things that we haven't accomplished is much much longer than the things that we did. So there are ample opportunities for someone else to experience the joy that I've had here for the last seven and a half years. That, and you get to work with great advocates, activists, elected officials and their staff, and of course my colleagues here.

I've still got a couple of weeks here, so will be posting again. However, the next week is jam packed. So don't be surprised if there is scant new information on the blog next week.
