BOOKS
Getting
Greener
Our
2007 book on environmental policy outlines how the South's
state and local governments can benefit from new ideas. The
effort has been endorsed by newspapers, college presidents
and a state branch of the Christian Coalition.
Doing
Better
Our 2006
book of ideas offered by the Center for a Better South, we
argue it is incumbent for lawmakers across the South to revisit
their state tax codes in a holistic manner to bring our tax
systems into the 21st century.

Op-ed: Times may not be as troubled as you think
MAY
31 , 2009 -- The (Mobile, Ala.) Press-Register published
an opinion piece by Better South President Andy Brack that outlined
observations on the spirit of the South. An excerpt:
The lesson of this eight-day trip to learn what
actually was occurring in the South is this: Yes, things might
be bad, but they're not as bad as you might think.
In fact, there's a lot of good going on.
We need to take that spirit, work together and
do even more good now.
Read the full
piece.
