The latest round of Carolina Freedom Club meetings concluded this week as Joseph Coletti and Becki Gray, John Locke Foundation Vice President for Outreach, headed to Greenville for the seventh and final stop of their government transparency tour. Gray hits the road again tomorrow for a Charlotte Tea Party statewide rally. Gray also returned to the WTSB Radio airwaves this week to discuss the upcoming elections, recent polls, and upcoming JLF events with Carl Lamm. Meanwhile, the N.C. Property Rights Coalition picked up a Daily Journal column from President John Hood that focused on forced annexation. The Fayetteville Observer‘s “People’s Business” blog cited a Hood column projecting major Republican gains in next week’s elections. Philanthropy Journal published an article on the Wildacres Leadership Initiative that featured an interview with Hood. The Greensboro News & Record‘s editorial blog cited Hood as well in discussing Democrats’ “boneheaded boycott” against Variety Wholesalers, the company owned by JLF founding chairman Art Pope’s family. An Associated Press story on the boycott also mentioned JLF’s connection to Pope, as did a News & Observer profile article. In other news, an article in Wrightsville Beach Magazine quoted from a North Carolina History Project encyclopedia entry in discussing the impact of Highland Scots.
