Fleenor Named Chief Economist Washington, D.C. August 29, 2000 -- Scott Hodge has been named executive director of the Tax Foundation. Most recently he has worked as director of tax and budget policy at Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation and is recognized as one of Washington's leading experts on the federal budget. He has been widely published on fiscal policy, notably in the pages of The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, USA Today, and The Washington Times. His work as Senior Budget Analyst at the Heritage Foundation included the editing of three books on the federal budget. Mr. Hodge has been a commentator on nightly news shows such as NBC Nightly News and CBS Nightly News, and has been seen regularly on CNN, Fox Network, and C-SPAN. At the same time, Patrick Fleenor has been named the Foundation's chief economist. On staff at the Tax Foundation since 1993, Fleenor has improved the Foundation's core research projects, such as Tax Freedom Day and The Federal Tax Burden by State, and he has published extensive economic analyses of excise and estate taxes. Fleenor has a reputation among the media as a reliable source for tax data on myriad subjects. Hodge and Fleenor replace J.D. Foster who held both titles from 1993 to June of this year, when he announced his departure for the staff of Rep. Phil Crane (R-IL). Foster will be legislative director and economic counsel to Rep. Crane, who is currently the second-ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, and chairman of its subcommittee on trade. Jan E.
