Michael explains the situation in the next edition of Carolina Journal Radio. Joe Coletti discusses the new Program Evaluation Division created by the General Assembly, while Terry Stoops discusses the reasons why he compiled a minority report for a school facilities group working in Wake County.
Dean Webster of the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law discusses his group’s concerns about the state’s recent $60 million tire incentives deal. And we’ll hear some highlights from LSU professor James Stoner‘s recent discussion of the links between science and tradition at the American founding.
