The Center for Survey Research issued a survey report for the July 4th holiday entitled, “More Than Money: Happiness in the United States 243 Years After Independence.” The report generated media attention on television, radio, and in several newspapers. I appeared on the radio program, “Talk of the Town,” to discuss the results of the report. I also was a guest on radio with Patrick Johnson of WTEM in July to discuss the CSR’s findings on public opinion in North Carolina towards sports gambling legalization and the legalization of recreational marijuana use.
