NCPoliticalNews.com promoted this week Carolina Journal Associate Editor Barry Smith‘s article on school voucher supporters’ response to a recent court ruling blocking North Carolina’s new opportunity scholarships. The same website cited Associate Editor Dan Way‘s report on a controversial coastal wind farm‘s prospects. A Carteret County News-Times editorial on the wind farm referenced Way’s story.

N.C. Senate Republicans promoted both of those articles, along with John Locke Foundation President John Hood‘s columns on JLF’s history and North Carolina workers’ recent compensation gains, contributor Sam Hieb‘s story on Greensboro’s $1.9 million incentive for a downtown hotel, and the transcript of a Carolina Journal Radio interview with Hadley Heath of the Independent Women’s Forum about Obamacare’s lingering problems.

The Laurinburg Exchange published N.C. History Project Director Troy Kickler‘s column on Samuel Johnston‘s important role in the early days of North Carolina. Watchdog.org cited Smith’s article on opportunity scholarships.
