Cully Stimson and Hans von Spakovsky Resign From Heritage

Last night, Kevin Robert told the Heritage Staff that two people would be directing the Meese Center. National Review reported:

The organization’s president, Kevin Roberts, sent an email to staff Sunday evening informing them of the departures. “We wish them well, though the manner of their departures speaks volumes,” he wrote. Roberts also told staff in the email that the organization’s chief economist, EJ Antoni, will now serve as acting director of the organization’s Center for Data Analysis and Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies, and that policy expert Cully Stimson will now lead the organization’s Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies on an “interim basis, with assistance from Hans von Spakovsky.”

I just spoke with Cully, who told me that both he and Hans resigned from the Heritage Foundation. At this point, there are only a few people left at the Meese Center. It exists in name only.
