Current initiatives promote choice and competition, school-based management and math and science education.

Current initiatives promote reform of public employee pension and health care liabilities, affordable, high-quality health care, and competitive contracting.

Center for Economic Opportunity

The Center for Economic Opportunity seeks to keep Massachusetts competitive by promoting a healthy business climate, transparent regulation and small business creation in urban areas. Current initiatives promote market reforms to increase the supply of affordable housing, reduce the cost of doing business, and revitalize urban areas.
