		<description><![CDATA[The Jaquelin Hume Foundation is one of the many conservative foundations operating in the United States. Some of the foundation&#8217;s work is directly related to education, and much of the foundation&#8217;s work impacts education indirectly though tax/fiscal policy and social policy. For this post I pulled grants listed on the foundations Form 990s for the <a href='http://kenmlibby.com/2013/01/18/jaquelin-hume-foundation-2001-2010/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent Washington Post article about Michelle Rhee makes the following claim: Rhee, as the chief executive of StudentsFirst, which employs 124 and is based in Sacramento, earns an annual salary of $61,000, according to federal tax filings. My best guess is that the reporter looked at the Form 990 for StudentsFirst Institute (a 501c3). That form covers <a href='http://kenmlibby.com/2013/01/17/michelle-rhees-salary-and-sfer-funding-some-corrections/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>
