The Indiana Policy Review Foundation (IPR) is a non-profit think tank based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The institute supports limited government and free-market principles.
History and leadership
IPR was co-founded by its board president, Byron S. Lamm, in 1989.[1] Vice President and former Indiana governor Mike Pence was its president from 1991 to 1994,[2] and claimed at a campaign event in 2012 that he helped found it.[3]
In a speech to the Heritage Foundation in 2008, then-Representative Pence said, "I was part of, what we called the seed corn Heritage Foundation was spreading around the country in the state think tank movement. We actually called our little foundation in Indiana the Indiana Policy Review Foundation, very much as a homage to Policy Review Magazine of Heritage, and we modeled on the state level what Heritage had done before."[4]
Activities
