Johnson wins race for NC House 113 after taxes fueled contest

HENDERSON COUNTY - A powerful legislative insider faced a former presidential pilot who wanted to shake up Raleigh. Republican state Rep. Jake Johnson and Democrat John Morgan competed for North Carolina House District 113, covering Polk County and portions of Henderson, McDowell and Rutherford counties, in a contest centered on affordability, education and government accountability. Johnson, a Saluda native, won election to the Polk County Board of Commissioners in 2016 before being appointed to the General Assembly in 2019. He entered the contest as House deputy majority whip, with leadership roles overseeing state government and information technology. Morgan, a retired Air Force pilot, flew reconnaissance missions during the Vietnam War and later aircraft carrying Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. He also served as a Saluda city commissioner. The candidates clashed over a proposed constitutional amendment requiring the legislature to limit local property tax increases . Johnson supported the measure, citing excessive local spending. Morgan opposed it, arguing Republican lawmakers were undermining local control. On affordability, Johnson emphasized increasing electricity generation and investing in water and sewer infrastructure to encourage housing construction. Morgan advocated targeted tax relief, stronger utility oversight and programs connecting renters with affordable housing. Education produced

The Hornets are buying the old Epicentre in a joint venture

Hornets Sports & Entertainment is acquiring and plans to revitalize Queen City Quarter — aka the Epicentre — in a joint venture with two real estate firms. Why it matters: The Hornets bring the built-in customer base, capital and literal buzz that may be necessary to revive Uptown's once-booming party central, right next to Spectrum Center. This could also be the missing piece to the Hornets' long-desired "entertainment district" along Trade Street. Flashback: Before South End was cool, the Epicentre used to be the place to be for Charlotte's nightlife. After its initial owners filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2010, it turned into a ghost town during COVID. It gained a reputation for crime and went into foreclosure in 2022. Most of the popular bars and businesses shuttered. It hasn't been the same since, even after the new property managers CBRE promised to turn it into a family-friendly destination. The latest: The Hornets' ownership is partnering with firms Lincoln Property Company and Vision Ventures. A sales price was not disclosed. A press release says they intend to "revitalize" and "reimagine" the property "as a vibrant destination," but it offered no specifics. Axios has reached out for comment. The intrigue:
