Paul Mero, who had served as the Sutherland Institute’s chief executive officer for 14 years, is out after being asked to step down by the conservative think tank’s board.
“It is what it is. There were just disagreements between me and the board and the board chairman about the organization and about how we execute our plans in the future,” Mero said.
Those disagreements surfaced earlier this year and were “insurmountable,” he said, declining to be more specific.
