Leaders in the N.C. House and Senate have been working this week to reach a deal on tax reform and budget-related issues. John Locke Foundation experts have analyzed the negotiation process for media outlets covering the story. President John Hood discussed the legislative haggling with WRAL.com and with Tyler Cralle on WAAV Radio’s morning program. Cralle also interviewed Director of Fiscal Policy Studies Sarah Curry about her report recommending that state budget negotiators adopt a “reverse logrolling” approach to help save taxpayers’ money.
NCPoliticalNews.com highlighted Hood’s new research spelling out three truths about tax reform. NCPoliticalNews.com and N.C. Senate Republicans’ daily press email promoted Curry’s research newsletter highlighting the benefits of “reverse logrolling.” A Triangle Business Journal blog quoted Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar Roy Cordato while analyzing a budget proposal to cap sales-tax refunds for the state’s largest nonprofit groups.
