John Hood has been sharing his expertise during a series of recent road trips. In addition to presentations to the new John Locke Foundation Carolina Freedom Clubs, Hood attracted attention recently from the Rocky Mount Telegram (under the headline “John Locke Foundation president holds court on economy”) for a local Kiwanis Club presentation. The “In the Field” blog associated with the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Community Services also highlighted a recent Daily Journal from Hood on farm issues. Meanwhile, Meck Deck blogger Jeff Taylor continues to earn media time. WBT Radio’s morning news called on Taylor this week to discuss new cost estimates associated with the Queen City’s light rail project. In other news, a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel columnist relied this week on the expertise of JLF Research Director and Local Government Analyst Michael Sanera to help dispel myths about pollution. N.C. Senate Republicans highlighted in a daily mass e-mail a report from Carolina Journal contributor Hal Young about the GOP education reform agenda. Last week’s report previewed a News 14 Carolina television appearance for JLF Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar Roy Cordato. You will find highlights of Cordato’s reaction to the latest state unemployment numbers here.
