As North Carolina legislators grapple with the details of tax reform and the next state budget, John Locke Foundation staffers have been busy offering analysis of competing proposals. Three JLF experts appeared this week on News 14 Carolina’s statewide “Capital Tonight” program. Director of Fiscal Policy Studies Sarah Curry and Carolina Journal Managing Editor Rick Henderson discussed the N.C. House budget plan, while Vice President for Outreach Becki Gray updated viewers on this week’s tax reform developments.
JLF President John Hood debated tax reform on WUNC Radio’s “The State of Things,” while Curry will discuss the House budget this afternoon with Bill LuMaye on WPTF Radio. Director of Communications Mitch Kokai reacted to the House budget plan for WTVD Television.
The Greensboro News & Record, Lenoir News Topic, Mooresville Tribune, and Kernersville News all published Gray’s recent column on tax reform. Americans for Prosperity promoted Gray’s column, along with an article on the House tax reform plan from CJ Associate Editor Barry Smith.
N.C. Senate Republicans promoted in their daily press emails six of Smith’s recent articles related to the House budget and the week’s top tax reform developments. GOP senators also promoted two columns from Hood rebutting tax reform myths, along with columns assessing the latest stage in the tax reform debate and promoting a useful economic statistic: per capita gross domestic product.
