Both the Winston-Salem Journal and Mooresville Tribune published a recent column from Daren Bakst, John Locke Foundation Director of Legal and Regulatory Studies, urging state lawmakers to compensate living victims of North Carolina’s eugenics-inspired forced sterilization program. The column originally appeared in the News & Observer, and a letter in that publication this week supported Bakst’s arguments. The Winston-Salem Journal also picked up a column from left-of-center analyst Chris Fitzsimon that cited recent public comments from Joseph Coletti, Director of Health and Fiscal Policy Studies. N.C. Senate Republicans’ daily press emails cited this week Policy Analyst Michael Lowrey‘s most recent By The Numbers report on local government tax burdens.
