JLF Director of Research Michael Sanera highlights three projects/policy issues in the Triangle that raise serious questions about the role of government and/or the use of public money. In Raleigh, there’s controversy over food trucks. In Cary, public money is being spent on a theater. And in the Triangle, light rail is again being pushed by local officials. You’ll find Michael’s comments on all three here.
