Legislators in both the N.C. House and Senate took a short break from pressing business today to mark the 91st birthday of Thomas Sowell. The Gastonia native has injected important economic concepts into high-profile national public policy debates for decades. John Locke Foundation CEO Amy Cooke had urged state officials to honor Sowell during a recent edition of her “Right AOC on Point” video series. Rep. John Torbett and Sen. Ted Alexander, both of whom represent Gaston County, submitted official statements honoring Sowell within their respective chambers. Both followed up the formal written statements with spoken comments on Sowell’s legacy. (Watch Torbett’s floor speech at this link.) (Hear Alexander’s floor speech at this link.) The written documents will be added to the official journals of House and Senate proceedings.
