About 500 people will gather Saturday evening in Raleigh to help the John Locke Foundation celebrate its 22nd anniversary. Fox News analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano will offer featured remarks. On the same night, South Carolina Republicans will learn the results of their presidential primary election. WTVD interviewed JLF Director of Communications Mitch Kokai this week about the South Carolina primary. Kokai discussed the latest North Carolina state government news during his latest appearance with Curtis Wright on the WAAV/WFNC Radio morning program. The News & Observer published Kokai’s letter discussing the factors that led the N.C. General Assembly to place a marriage amendment on the primary ballot. The Smoky Mountain News published Kokai’s letter correcting the record about the John Locke Foundation’s assessment of the General Assembly’s recent late-night veto override vote. Vice President for Outreach Becki Gray returned to the WPTF Radio airwaves this week to fill in as guest host on the Rick and Donna Martinez program. Gray offered WTSB Radio listeners a preview of the week’s major public policy events Monday. She returns to the WTSB airwaves this afternoon to recap the week’s big events. We the People of Ashe County used a CarolinaJournal.tv video clip of Gray to promote her speech to that group Jan. 24 in Jefferson. The Beaufort Observer cited Meck Deck blogger Tara Servatius‘ recent dissection of a hit piece in the Charlotte Observer. Speaking of hit pieces, a guest column in the Durham News attacking JLF founding chairman Art Pope mentions JLF. In contrast, a positive News & Observer profile of Pope today also mentions his support of the Locke Foundation.
