"This
is an outstanding new service we offer to help people make sense
of what's happening in the policy world across the South,"
Center President Andy Brack said. "There's more and more information
that assaults us every day and this service helps cut the information
glut to make some sense out of policy-related stories that make
a difference to our lives."
The
new ThinkSouth.org service, which draws from stories published in
major newspapers and media from Florida to Virginia to Arkansas
and Louisiana, allows readers to see connections that occur across
the region - and may help readers and subscribers see links that
can be helpful in their states.
For
example on Thursday, readers learned about how Kentucky Gov. Steve
Beshear has announced new "green" office building regulations
for his state - one of the many recommendations in a 2007 book of
environmental ideas offered by the Center.
"Seeing
how one state is advancing green ideas may help leaders in other
states take bold moves more quickly," Brack said."
Another
example: Earlier this week, Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe signed into
law a measure that would raise the state's cigarette tax by 56 cents.
Coincidentally, a similar measure is being debated in South Carolina.
The news from Arkansas might be useful to proponents or opponents
of the South Carolina legislation.
