The N.C. Spin website and Pundit House noted John Locke Foundation Director of Regulatory Studies Jon Sanders‘ “Locker Room” blog entry panning the state lottery’s new scratch-and-sniff game. The Kernersville News published Sanders’ column on assessing renewable energy costs accurately.

The Senate GOP noted Stoops’ column on boosting funding for school choice programs. The N.C. Spin site and the Senate GOP also highlighted Sarah Curry’s column promoting federalism as a tool to combat government overreach.
