In addition to his regular weekly appearance with Bill LuMaye on WPTF Radio, John Locke Foundation President John Hood returned to the Curtis Media Group studios this week to discuss the top political news of the day on Don Curtis’ “Carolina Newsmakers.” A Hickory Daily Record editorial cited Hood in discussing the likelihood of a rematch between Beverly Perdue and Pat McCrory in the 2012 North Carolina governor’s race. N.C. Senate Republicans’ daily press emails promoted Hood’s columns this week on stimulus myths and the politics associated with Perdue’s vetoes. Citizens for Tax Justice highlighted Hood’s column about different conceptions of fairness. Hood continues his contributions to National Review Online’s primary blog, “The Corner,” including an entry analyzing the president’s latest speech on the federal debt-limit dilemma.
