In addition to his discussion of the latest developments involving Gov. Beverly Perdue’s campaign, John Hood contributed analysis to a new WRAL Television documentary discussing the problems associated with drivers’ cell phone use. The Fayetteville Observer interviewed Hood for an article about the Cumberland County Alcoholic Beverage Control board’s decision to award employees 4 percent “cost-of-living” pay raises. N.C. Senate Republicans also promoted this week Hood’s column offering clues to people who want to differentiate the political Left and Right. Hood’s continuing contributions to National Review Online’s primary blog, “The Corner,” included observations about a “tax reform scam.”
