Heartland President Joseph L. Bast opens the January-February 2009 issue of The Heartlander with thoughts on President George W. Bush’s departure from office, the inauguration of President Barack Obama, and a few key public policy issues: the credit crisis, health care, and global warming.

This issue also offers:

  • a quick wrap-up from last year’s Emerging Issues Forum and 24th Anniversary Benefit Dinner;
  • a look ahead to the March 8-10 Second International Conference on Climate Change;
  • and summaries of Heartland activities on our top policy priorities: budget and tax, tobacco, finance and insurance, health care, information technology and telecom, education, the environment, and urban affairs.
