More than 200 school teachers who work for St. Thomas More Academy, Franklin Academy, and the three Thales academies heard a keynote address one week ago on sustainable development and the concept of the “ultimate resource.” John Locke Foundation Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar Roy Cordato delivered that speech.
The Charlotte Business Journal quoted Director of Regulatory Studies Jon Sanders in an article about the future of North Carolina film incentives. (“We should get rid of the incentives,” says Jon Sanders, director of regulatory studies at the John Locke Foundation, a Raleigh-based conservative think tank. Sanders made his remarks during a recent film industry forum uptown sponsored by WFAE-FM, surrounded by many staffers and owners of companies that have benefited from working on Homeland and other film projects. “The industry would survive.”) The Kernersville News published Sanders’ column on state auto emissions inspections.
The Heritage Foundation’s “Insider Online” promoted Cordato’s recent report on North Carolina’s tax reform plan, along with Director of Research and Education Studies Terry Stoops‘ revised and updated question-and-answer primer on Common Core public school standards.
WNCN Television interviewed Stoops about problems associated with North Carolina’s PowerSchool data collection system. N.C. Senate Republicans promoted his column on restoring civility to the debate over Common Core standards, along with Cordato’s column on the benefits of North Carolina’s tax reform plan. NCPoliticalNews.com also picked up Cordato’s tax reform analysis.
Stoops discussed Common Core during a speech to the Cumberland County Republican Women’s Club. NCPoliticalNews.com highlighted his research newsletters on public school testing controversies and teacher pay in poor communities. National Review Online’s “Phi Beta Cons” blog promoted Stoops’ “Locker Room” entry on a dubious Fayetteville State University research study involving swingers.
NCPoliticalNews.com also took note of Director of Fiscal Policy Studies Sarah Curry‘s newsletter on the impact of the partial federal government shutdown, along with Health and Human Services Policy Analyst Katherine Restrepo‘s newsletter on kinks in the implementation of Obamacare health insurance exchanges.
