Hugh "Tripp" Jones, a 1988 graduate of Hamilton College, was profiled in a Boston Business Journal article. Jones started Massachusetts Institute for a New Commonwealth (MassINC) along with software mogul Mitchell Kertzman in 1996. "It's amazing the number of people you talk to -- who are active in Democratic and Republican politics -- who said it would be nice if we had a place with credibility to ground the public debate in fact," said Jones. MassINC now serves that function. Issues such as crime, education and affordable housing are tackled by MassINC.
