Meck Deck blogger Jeff Taylor returned to Tara Servatius’ program on WBT Radio this week to discuss a botched Charlotte-Mecklenburg police investigation that has tainted the case against a man accused of murdering a police officer. As Taylor notes, the Charlotte Observer caught up to the story four days after it appeared on the Meck Deck. Meanwhile, John Locke Foundation Policy Analyst Michael Lowrey participated in the Southern Mecklenburg Republican Club’s panel discussion on the possibility of city/county government consolidation. Vice President for Outreach Becki Gray also hit the road for a presentation about the upcoming election for the Western Chatham Citizens for Change. Gray, John Hood, Executive Vice President Kory Swanson, and Director of Major Gifts Hilda Maness traveled to Rocky Mount for a presentation to business leaders about the John Locke Foundation and its role in monitoring the work of the General Assembly. In other news, State Government Radio interviewed communications director Mitch Kokai about the impact of the recent State Bureau of Investigation crime lab controversy on the future of capital punishment in North Carolina.
