A Forbes blog this week cited John Locke Foundation President John Hood‘s recent National Affairs article detailing problems associated with Medicaid. The Raleigh Public Record cited Hood’s recent analysis of North Carolina’s redistricting process. N.C. Senate Republicans promoted Hood’s columns this week on the debt-limit “drama,” lessons from the debt-limit debate, recent research linked to happiness and satisfaction, and the poor state of poverty statistics. The Senate GOP also highlighted a 2001 report from Hood on state budget problems.
