Voters in more than 20 counties will also decide next week whether to grant their county commissioners permission to raise local sales or land-transfer taxes. JLF Vice President for Outreach Becki Gray has been providing information about those votes in speeches across the state. She spoke to the Wayne County Republican Party Monday night and the Orange County FreedomWorks group Tuesday. Education Policy Analyst Terry Stoops joined Gray Thursday night for a presentation to the Americans for Prosperity group in Lee County. The Sanford Herald covered that presentation. The Locke Foundation’s analysis of the tax proposal in Wilson County also drew attention from the Wilson Daily Times.
