WPTF Radio’s audience learned this week about a scheme in Clinton, N.C., to defraud taxpayers of $1.4 million in fraudulent tax refunds. Carolina Journal Managing Editor Rick Henderson discussed that CJ cover story with the radio station.
The Carteret County News-Times quoted Associate Editor Barry Smith in an article about tax reform.

NCPoliticalNews.com promoted Associate Editor Dan Way‘s article on constitutional problems surrounding a proposed oversight board for North Carolina public charter schools.
N.C. Senate Republicans highlighted Way’s charter school story in their daily press email, along with Way’s report on a looming deadline for a new Medicaid computer system, Executive Editor Don Carrington‘s report highlighting a 1998 investigation of the N.C. Rural Center, Smith’s article on a Senate tax plan, Smith’s report on redistricting reform, Carolina Journal Radio Co-Host Donna Martinez‘s column on competition, contributor Andy Taylor‘s column on Republicans’ need for cautious leadership, and John Hood’s columns on the impact of special interests on state economic growth and the need for North Carolina to restore partisan judicial elections.
