The N.C. Senate is busy with the General Assembly’s crossover week, but Senate staffers responsible for preparing a daily press email had time to promote several Carolina Journal reports this week: David Bass’ legislative preview, Associate Editor Sara Burrows‘ reports on annexation reform legislation and a freshman Republican’s jobs bill, and contributor Karen Welsh‘s article on a proposed move of state forestry programs out of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The Lincoln Tribune published Burrows’ annexation and jobs bill articles, Welsh’s article on E-verify legislation, contributor Karen McMahan‘s report on a proposed federal vehicle mileage tax, and Bass’ articles on biotechnology incentives, legislation targeting certificates of participation, and North Carolina’s latest freedom ranking. The Kenly News published a recent CJ column from John Locke Foundation Office Manager Melissa Mitchell about education fads.
