John Locke Foundation experts also have shared their ideas recently through print and online media. John Hood’s column this week about George W. Bush’s legacy attracted attention across the country in The Hawaii Reporter. Today the Charlotte Examiner promotes the latest Carolina Beat from Chad Adams, which focuses on local government’s use of a gimmick, the “hiring freeze,” to address budget problems. Policy Analyst and Research Editor Jon Sanders continues to attract attention for last week’s Daily Journal column on the absurdity of attacking free expression in N.C. State University’s Free Expression Tunnel. The News & Observer‘s higher education blog highlighted the piece, as did the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). Meanwhile, The Jefferson Post recently reprinted a Daily Journal column from Research Director and Local Government Analyst Michael Sanera. He notes the negative impact of government planners on individual liberty. Paul Chesser’s latest contribution to The American Spectator highlights the underhanded tactics global warming alarmists use to stifle the climate change debate.
