The N&O referenced JLF in an article about founding chairman Art Pope’s appointment as Gov.-elect Pat McCrory’s new deputy budget director. The N&O‘s “Under the Dome” blog cited JLF in a reference to analysis from Democratic political consultant Gary Pearce. Syndicated columnist Scott Moneyham referenced JLF in a piece on efforts to fight methamphetamine labs. A letter in the Salisbury Post discussed JLF’s efforts to promote government transparency. (Just a few months ago the John Locke Foundation recognized Rowan County government as being one of the most transparent government entities in the state. Transparency is a critical ingredient in the recipe for good government.)
