Radio listeners tuned to WPTF Monday and Tuesday afternoon heard John Locke Foundation President John Hood serve as guest host. Meanwhile, N.C. Senate Republicans quoted Hood’s columns this week on economic growth, the contrast between North Carolina and South Carolina in addressing state parks and historic sites, and Gov. Beverly Perdue’s “bad pitch” against the General Assembly’s new state budget. A Raleigh Telegram article about this year’s coastal terminal groin legislation mentioned Hood’s opposition to the original plan.
