Rep. Paul “Skip” Stam, R-Wake, speaker pro tem of the N.C. House of Representatives, discussed the history of the state’s Opportunity Scholarship program and other school choice options Thursday during a Friedman Legacy Day lecture at the John Locke Foundation. The lecture honors the late economist and school choice advocate Milton Friedman, who would have turned 102 years old on July 31.
