“One of the things I am most committed to doing at Yankee is trying to make public policy relevant and accessible to normal people – and maybe even a little bit ‘fun,’” Carol says. “For example, we helped beat tolls – the governor’s top priority – by coming up with a cartoon ‘toll troll’ and putting a giant, inflatable ‘toll troll’ on the Capitol lawn,” she explains.
The Yankee Institute is a free-market, small government think tank that has done groundbreaking work on a number of issues, including the effect of public unions on the state’s budget.
A prolific commentator, Carol is author of Prude: How the Sex Obsessed Culture Damages Girls (and America, Too!) and a sometime guest host for Hugh Hewitt. She’s also an old friend of IWF’s. As a 25-year-old law clerk in Washington, D.C., Carol was a part of many IWF events.
When Liebau regards something as important, she is an immovable object. But don’t get the impression that she’s not fun. She is the fount of amusing stories that show she doesn’t take herself too seriously. Like the one about an encounter with Barack Obama.
We’ve known Carol for years and, if you don’t already know her, you will enjoy meeting her.
