JLF's Gray looks forward to 2015 legislative session

    RALEIGH     The John Locke Foundation will focus on freedom as it monitors activity within the N.C. General Assembly in 2015. JLF Vice President for Outreach Becki Gray delivered that message Monday.

    Gray recapped during a Shaftesbury Society speech the conservative and market-based reforms state lawmakers have pursued since Republicans took control of the state legislature in 2011. Gray also looked ahead to the new legislative session, which starts with an organizational session Wednesday.

    In the video clip below, Gray previews a new First in Freedom initiative, which will offer a "freedom test" lawmakers, voters, and taxpayers can use to determine whether new legislation makes sense for North Carolina.
