The N.C. Spin website, NCPoliticalNews.com, and N.C. Senate Republicans all took note of John Locke Foundation Director of Regulatory Studies Jon Sanders‘ column debunking the notion that the end of targeted tax incentives will kill North Carolina’s film industry. The Heartland Institute published an article highlighting Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar Roy Cordato‘s recent report on eliminating or reducing North Carolina’s capital gains tax.

NCPoliticalNews.com and the Senate GOP promoted a column co-authored by Director of Fiscal Policy Studies Sarah Curry that recommends splitting legislative oversight committees for K-12 and higher education. Speaking of education, Director of Research and Education Studies Terry Stoops discussed North Carolina’s new 10-point grading scale and school testing issues with Lockwood Phillips on WTKF’s “Viewpoints Radio.” The N.C. Spin website and Senate Republicans cited Stoops’ column outlining a 2015 education agenda for North Carolina. Director of Education Outreach Lindalyn Kakadelis promoted JLF’s upcoming Jan. 28 school choice breakfast during an appearance with Donna Martinez on WPTF.
