Recent Articles From SMI Writers and Economists

If you are a fan of our blog you may not have seen some of the latest op-eds and other articles we have released lately on the main site. Sarah Brodsky has just sent out an article on the benefits of tuition tax-credits for children with autism.

Our soon-to-exit intern Nick Loyal and I co-wrote a piece on one of Missouri’s silliest and least defensible taxes: the local pool table tax.

Hagan at St. Louis University High School, died a few days ago after decades of dedication to educaton and SLUH. "Nickel!"
