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,

Charlotte's airport has an approved new airline deal

Charlotte City Council approved a new Airline Use and Lease Agreement (AULA) for Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its signatory airlines. Why it matters: The new deal, which begins on Jan. 1, 2027, keeps the signatory airlines around for the next 10 and a half years and allows for a five-year extension. CLT's signatory airlines are American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest and United. Driving the news: Council approved the AULA Monday night in an 8-2 vote. Council members JD Mazuera Arias and Reneé Perkins Johnson voted against it. More than 50 people signed up to speak to address council. Some advocated for the deal and some against. Advocates from Atrium Health, Novant Health, Trane Technologies, Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce, North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association, Charlotte Regional Business Alliance and local business owners — some of whom have a presence at the airport — advocated for the deal. The other side: But the people who told council members they "keep the airport running" said they don't feel seen or heard. They asked council to delay their vote on the AULA. State law does not allow the city to intervene in subcontractor pay . " We've gotta take this fight to
