Voters cast ballots across North Carolina this week, and John Locke Foundation experts helped media outlets make sense of the results. Meck Deck blogger Jeff Taylor joined Tara Servatius on WBT Radio for an election recap, while John Hood’s election column attracted attention from N.C. Senate Republicans. For those who wonder why elections matter, Hood has written a column about “basic truths” of government. The Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs’ Perspective magazine reprinted that piece. Meanwhile, the Fayetteville Observer published a column from JLF Legal and Regulatory Policy Analyst Daren Bakst that critiques taxpayer financing of election campaigns. Speaking of elections, a recent article in the Bertie Ledger-Advance featured material first published in Carolina Journal. A recent guest column in the Selma News also touted JLF’s work to inform voters. (The Center for Local Innovation, a division of The John Locke Foundation, is an excellent place to gain perspective about the priorities, needs, and role of local government.)
