This weekend marks Carolina Journal Radio?s 300th program. We mark the milestone by looking back to some of the highlights from some of the first 299 programs, including comments from luminaries such as Newt Gingrich, William Kristol, Peggy Noonan, and P.J. O?Rourke.
Looking forward, John Hood will discuss the role Carolina Journal in each of its incarnations will play as the media landscape changes in the coming years. Also in the looking-forward department, you?ll hear predictions for the 2009 legislative session from N.C. Senate President Pro Tem Marc Basnight and House Speaker Joe Hackney.
Now that a new presidential administration is in place, Terry Stoops will discuss the likely impact for federal education policy, and we?ll learn why at least one key state lawmaker is wary of spending another $20 million a year in taxpayer funds to help local school systems offer healthier meals to elementary school students.
