Thanks to the work of Carolina Journal Executive Editor Don Carrington, the details of free donor-provided flights for Gov. Beverly Perdue are becoming clearer. Carrington’s latest CJ exclusive on the topic attracted attention from the Beaufort Observer, Lincoln Tribune, and Tar Heel Tribune. Meanwhile, the Kinston Free Press and New Bern Sun Journal published a story based on Carrington’s earlier research into the role Perdue operative Tate Johnson played in the flight process. CJ Managing editor Rick Henderson discussed the latest news on Perdue’s flights during an appearance with Bill LuMaye on WPTF Radio’s afternoon program. The Lincoln Tribune, Watchdog.org, and Tea Party Patriots blog picked up contributor Kristy Bailey‘s article about concerns linked to the voter registration process. The Lincoln Tribune published other CJ exclusives this week, including Associate Editor David Bass‘ report about a controversial lawsuit influencing the N.C. House District 51 campaign and Piedmont Publius blogger Sam Hieb‘s article about Greensboro City Council’s concerns linked to stimulus dollars from the U.S. Department of Energy. The Tar Heel Tribune highlighted Video News Editor Anthony Greco‘s report about the N.C. Senate District 10 race. The Conservative Refocus website promoted Greco’s story on Republican complaints about voting machine irregularities. Another Greco report spelling out concerns about a Democratic legislative candidate’s website helped prompt that candidate — appointed Wake County incumbent Rep. Darren Jackson — to dismantle the site. The Mooresville Tribune published John Locke Foundation Senior Fellow Marc Rotterman‘s recent CJ column on the controversial “Ground Zero mosque” in New York City. The Richmond County Daily Journal picked up intern Amanda Vuke‘s column on the problems associated with promises to devote new tax revenue to education.
