State lawmakers return to Raleigh for the 2009 legislative session in the next week. Becki Gray will explain some of the key issues those lawmakers will face, when she appears in the next edition of Carolina Journal Radio.
One key issue legislators must resolve is a sizeable hole in the current state budget, and a projected multibillion-dollar hole in the new budget. Joe Coletti will discuss the pattern of government overspending that helped lead to today?s budget problems.
Emory University professor Mark Bauerlein will discuss themes from his recent book, The Dumbest Generation, while Clemson University?s Bruce Yandle will discuss his theory of ?bootleggers and Baptists? conspiring to the skew public policy.
Plus Jon Ham will shed some light on the debate about media bias.
