The John Locke Foundation’s name has cropped up in several newspapers in recent weeks. A guest columnist for the Salisbury Post mentioned JLF’s position on allowing the state’s temporary sales tax to expire. The Durham Herald-Sun cited JLF opposition to sales taxes tied to rail transit. A Laurinburg Exchange letter writer cited the By The Numbers report while discussing Scotland County’s tax burden. ([T]he John Locke Foundation has prepared a
very informative report, By The Numbers, which enables the citizens of
Scotland County to directly compare the cost of our state’s 100
counties.) The Chatham Journal highlighted the Locke Foundation’s mission statement.
