Sticking to local government basics

Chad Adams treated attendees of today’s John Locke Foundation Shaftesbury Society luncheon to a short course on some of the top bad ideas N.C. local governments are pursuing.

He also explained that the the JLF’s Center for Local Innovation has developed a City-County Issue Guide that offers alternative ideas that focus on free markets and limited government.

• In this video clip, Chad explains why it’s a bad idea for local governments to pursue new ways to tax residents.
