Lawmakers are trying to wind down the 2013 session of the N.C. General Assembly, and Carolina Journal reporters are monitoring legislative work closely. Managing Editor Rick Henderson will discuss the week’s top legislative news during an appearance this afternoon with Bill LuMaye on Talk Radio WPTF. Associate Editor Barry Smith describes the tax reform debate, state budget negotiations, and a budget “continuing resolution” for this evening’s edition of UNC Public Television’s “Legislative Week in Review.”
N.C. Senate Republicans promoted in their daily press emails this week John Locke Foundation President John Hood‘s Carolina Journal Online columns on Medicaid and emergency room visits, regulations’ impact on small businesses, and problems linked to corporate taxes. GOP senators also highlighted Hood’s analysis of competing tax reform proposals, Smith’s report on the N.C. Commerce Department‘s reorganization, the transcript of a Carolina Journal Radio interview about Education Savings Accounts, and news articles from CJ Associate Editor Dan Way on Taxpayer Bill of Rights legislation, Medicaid prescription drug costs, a stimulus-funded health information exchange, and a proposed charter school oversight board.
The Roanoke Rapids Daily Herald noted Executive Editor Don Carrington‘s upcoming skydiving jumps for the July 4 holiday.
