Meck Deck blogger Jeff Taylor can discuss everything from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ personnel shifts to the recent slugfest involving Carolina Panthers football players. Taylor tackled those subjects and other this week during an appearance on the WDYT Radio morning show. Meanwhile, JLF communications director Mitch Kokai‘s blog entry about a North Carolina appeals court ruling turned into an interview with News 14 Carolina. The appellate judges ruled that Gov. Mike Easley and state legislators had no authority to raid the state pension fund during a budget crisis.
