Tune in to NewsTalk 680 WPTF at 3 p.m. today to hear JLF’s Chad Adams debate Elaine Mejia of the N.C. Budget and Tax Center on the issue of the local tax burden in our state. The genesis of the debate is the data published in JLF’s new report, By The Numbers: What Governments Cost in North Carolina Cities and Towns. Ms. Mejia’s organization issued a press release in response to the report. You’ll find it here. Look for the 2nd item under “Alert!”.
