John Locke Foundation experts spent much of their time this week enlightening North Carolina radio audiences. Vice President Chad Adams spent two days guest hosting Matt Mittan’s “Take A Stand Show” from WWNC in Asheville. Among his guests were fellow Vice President Roy Cordato, who discussed developments in North Carolina’s global warming debate. That included Cordato’s reaction to a new poll showing that nearly two-thirds of North Carolina voters reject proposed climate policies that would raise gasoline prices or electricity rates. Another of Adams’ guests was Carolina Journal Executive Editor Don Carrington, who discussed his recent reporting on Mike and Mary Easleys’ taxpayer-funded travel, as well as Mrs. Easley’s recent 88 percent pay raise at N.C. State University. (Carrington’s radio appearance followed last week’s participation in two programs for WHIG community television in Rocky Mount. Host Jack Hopkins interviewed Carrington about the Easleys and about the latest developments in the Randy Parton Theatre debacle.) JLF President John Hood joined new WPTF morning host Scott Fitzgerald on the air for a discussion of the recently concluded legislative session, and he chatted with Fitzgerald’s boss, Don Curtis, for an hourlong weekend program that airs throughout the multi-station Curtis Media Group network. Education Policy Analyst Terry Stoops granted an interview to the WPTF News team about recent public school standardized test scores linked to No Child Left Behind. Meck Deck blogger Jeff Taylor spent 45 minutes with Tara Servatius on WBT Radio discussing a disturbing Mecklenburg County murder case.
