Friday Interview: Losing the Tax Competition

RALEIGH — We often hear North Carolina politicians talk about competing with other states. One area in which we are losing the competition is tax policy. That’s the assessment of Scott Hodge, president of the Tax Foundation in Washington, D.C. Hodge recently spoke to the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society on the theme, “Falling Behind: The Importance of Tax Competition in North Carolina and the Nation.” He also discussed that topic with Mitch Kokai for Carolina Journal Radio.
