Chip Mellor Retirement

Chip Mellor is no longer the President and General Council. ^[1]. Can someone please help update the article?Jjustinwilson (talk) 16:33, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:46, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the introduction, the article reads that Mellor "pursues constitutional litigation" in present tense. Since he has retired, that should be rephrased to past tense. I suggest changing it to: "During his career as IJ's General Counsel, Mellor pursued constitutional litigation in four areas: economic liberty, property rights, school choice, and free speech."

Also, he is no longer publishing his Forbes column "Constitutional Crossroads." That should be removed, or changed to past tense.

Finally, in addition to publishing Dirty Dozen, Mellor also recently co-authored Bottleneckers. ^[2] I'd recommend adding a new section on publications, moving Dirty Dozen, and adding:

"In December 2016, Mellor co-authored with Dick Carpenter, IJ’s Director of Strategic Research Bottleneckers: Gaming the Government for Power and Private Profit. The book describes a "bottlenecker" as “anyone who uses government power to limit competition and thereby reap monopoly profits and other benefits.”

Resolving Issues

This article has been flagged with multiple issues for a number of years. I'd like to tackle addressing them, since there are plenty of third-party sources about Mellor life. But before I do that, I wanted to raise it with the community.

After adding additional sources, I went ahead and removed the flags.
