Budget and Tax Center

Friday Feature

Submitted by James on Fri, 01/04/2008 - 10:03am.

This year I hope to implement a series of "Friday Features" that will highlight some of the great non-profit organizations working here in North Carolina. One of the most reliable and effective is the NC Justice Center. Today's Friday Feature focuses on one part of NC Justice, the Budget and Tax Center.

People across the political spectrum can disagree on many things, but when it comes to the base of facts needed to craft effective public policy, even free-market extremists turn to the Budget and Tax Center as a dependable source. You should too, especially when you're looking for data to fend off assaults on sanity from people who make up whatever "facts" they need to support their arguments.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
