These Charlotte Democrats have majority for first time. How will they use power?
Democratic Mecklenburg legislators say they’re eager to execute on long-awaited priorities after their party captured a majority in the North Carolina House for the first time in 16 years. House Democrats are expected to have a near-supermajority in the new legislative session after flipping seats across the state in Tuesday’s election. Republicans appear to have narrowly held onto their majority in the state Senate, if potential recounts and the final canvass don’t change outcomes. But Democrats picked up several seats there, too. In Mecklenburg County, state Sen. Vickie Sawyer will be the only Republican left in the legislative delegation after former Matthews town Commissioner Ken McCool defeated GOP state Rep. Tricia Cotham. State Rep. Mary Belk easily secured a sixth term in the House, where she represents south Charlotte’s District 88. Despite her long tenure, this will be her first time in the majority. Belk told The Charlotte Observer she had an inkling it could be a good year for Democrats given frustration among voters with the status quo and indicators of high voter turnout. But she “had no idea it was going to be this much.” “Very rarely do we get to move things forward and have them heard,

Why Ajša Sivka put off the WNBA, BYU's historic triple-double, Gabe Lazo's milestone
CHARLOTTE, NC — When the preseason awards and watchlists started rolling out for women’s college basketball last month, Kenny Brooks just laughed. The third-year head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats knew what he had in Ajša Sivka, but the rest of the sport was blissfully unaware. “We just kind of chuckled. I don’t know if she even knows about the watchlists,” Brooks said Sunday inside the Spectrum Center in Charlotte. “But she's definitely one of the best players in the country.” Women’s basketball fans around the nation were introduced to Sivka on Sunday, Nov. 8, as she scored 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting — 8-of-12 on 3-pointers — in a 93-78 win over NC State at the fourth annual Ally Tip-Off in front of a national TV audience on ESPN2. She also had five rebounds and three assists. The versatile 6-foot-5 20-year-old from Slovenia didn’t make the preseason All-SEC team , much less the watchlist for the Wade Trophy. Entering this season, the questions folks around women’s basketball had about Kentucky sounded like this: Sure, All-SEC center Clara Strack is back, but what’s around her? Sivka provided an answer against Wes Moore’s Wolfpack on a national stage. She drained 3-pointers

CLT airport deal vote scheduled today: workers, fares and a Tillis Senate threat
Charlotte City Council is expected to vote Monday evening on a 10.5-year lease at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a decision that will shape airline competition, fares, worker pay and roughly $2 billion in construction at one of the country’s busiest hubs. The agreement, which would take effect Jan. 1, covers American Airlines and four competitors — Delta, Frontier, Southwest and United. It is projected to generate $3 billion in airline rent and fund “CLT Beyond,” a $2.1 billion capital program four times larger than the one approved under the 2016 lease. Planned work includes expanding Concourse C, building a new passenger tunnel, renovating international arrivals and modernizing airfield infrastructure. American Airlines, which operates roughly 90% of flights at CLT, has become the focal point of the debate — praised by business leaders for the global connectivity it provides and criticized by labor groups and consumer advocates who say the deal entrenches its dominance. Worker concerns dominate town hall Airport workers and allies packed a town hall at the Goodwill Opportunity Center on Oct. 27, hosted by Action NC and labor union 32BJ SEIU, the Charlotte Observer has reported . Speakers described severe housing instability among contracted airport staff, with some

It's intended to help families save money amid high grocery prices , while also keeping track of what's in the fridge or what they need for a recipe. Context: The Tiptons' shared grocery note started to help alleviate stress that someone would forget something at the grocery store for dinner. Tipton, who works in banking by day, took the note concept and turned it into an app. He started building it over the summer and used 30-40 local testers over the last couple of months. Right now, around 10 families are using the app, which launched on Nov. 5. Photo: Courtesy of Josh Tipton How it works: The free app brings the whole family together on a single grocery list.
