Better South profiled on Virginia blog

Center for a Better South President Andy Brack today outlined how the organization is run as a non-partisan organization on South of the James, an independent, nonpartisan Virginia weblog and online journal.

"Our goal is to provide ideas to help move the debate forward. As we've described to reporters in the past, the Center is kind of like a policy baseball pitcher that throws "idea strikes" over the plate. We don't really care who is batting - - or who hits the ball out of the park. But we want to provide the pitch that allows them to score that home run."

The interview by blog author Conaway Haskins of Chesterfield, Va., showcases the Center's roots in the progressive tradition of the LQC Lamar Society and provides an overview of how it hopes to impact policy debates with good ideas.

Many thanks to Conaway for the opportunity to talk with folks throughout Virginia and the South.
