What else is new?

Posted at 1:01 PM by Chris Fitzsimon

The headline of the day so far comes from a story this morning on the website of WHKP in Hendersonville.

John Locke Foundation study about tax rates is misleading.

Well duh, but it’s still nice of them to acknowledge it.  The headline was later changed to “City Manager says John Locke Foundation study is misleading.” Either way, the point is clear.

About This Blog

The Progressive Pulse is a blog about the issues, debates, and people that affect North Carolina public policy. As with the organization that sponsors it, NC Policy Watch, its ultimate objective is to improve the quality of life in the state, in this case by promoting the development of an informed, energetic and progressive online community. The Progressive Pulse welcomes the contributions of interested people of all points of view provided they are of a reasonable length, have some relevance to issues of North Carolina public policy and abide by the common rules of online etiquette (i.e., please avoid inappropriate language and show a measure of respect for others –even the John Locke Foundation). To post a comment, simply click the comment line then provide your name and email. Your email address will not be collected or shared. If you would like to be contributing writer, please send your post to info@ncpolicywatch.com with 'blog' in the subject line. If the post meets with our criteria (has a progressive perspective and is relative to our state), we will publish it.
