The Charlotte Observer interviewed John Hood this week for an article about Harold Johnson, who’s competing in a runoff election for the chance to challenge incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell. N.C. Senate Republicans promoted a pair of Hood’s columns this week. One attacked targeted tax breaks for particular businesses, while the other contrasted liberals’ choice of words with the real meanings of those words. Meanwhile, the News & Observer published a letter from John Locke Foundation Office Manager Melissa Mitchell that questions North Carolina colleges’ summer reading choices for incoming students. The Kernersville News published a column from Program Associate Joyce Pope that focused on one troubling item — mandatory calorie counts — within the federal health-care reform legislation. In other news, the Duke University On Demand website picked up a CarolinaJournal.tv video highlighting one portion of Duke professor Jacob Vigdor’s presentation this week to the Shaftesbury Society meeting. The Southern Pines Pilot also cited the John Locke Foundation in an editorial discussing economist Michael Walden’s credentials.
