Electing Casey Miller Nov. 3 can help fix Lincoln County administration

To the editor: The war between Lincoln County’s commissioners and the district attorney, the war amongst the commissioners themselves, the huge waste of money investigating baseless claims against a commissioner, the empty office the county paid for when we can’t even afford new hires, closing of public meetings . . . all of these happened with the blessing of, and apparently often at the instigation of, our county counsel. We’ve paid to defend countless lawsuits, many decided against us, for conduct that county counsel approved. County counsels can be dangerous. We don’t elect them – they are hired by county

Union County ranked first, Gaston last in Charlotte-area well-being study. Why?

Union and Gaston counties sit on opposite sides of Mecklenburg County and are both being reshaped by the Charlotte region’s rapid growth. But residents are reporting sharply different levels of well-being. Local leaders say the counties’ different histories, growth patterns and economic conditions help explain why residents may experience the region differently. But a new UNC Charlotte study examining individual well-being across 14 counties in the Charlotte region placed Union County in first place and Gaston in 14th, reporting sharp differences in financial security and emotional well-being. About 76% of Union County residents reported high well-being, compared with about 61% in Gaston County, according to findings presented this month by the UNC Charlotte Urban Institute as part of its State of Our Region research. Kailas Venkitasubramanian, the institute’s director of research analytics, said the divide is more complicated than one county simply being wealthier than the other. His recent calculations suggest income differences explain only about 24% of the gap in life satisfaction. The data comes from the UNC Charlotte Urban Institute’s inaugural regional well-being survey, which asked adults across 14 counties about their finances, housing, communities and perceptions of their own lives. The institute created the survey as a

NC voters reveal what's driving record turnout in Charlotte, bellwether Cabarrus

For some, it’s a referendum on a controversial president. For others, it’s concern about the size of their tax bill. Early voters are turning out across North Carolina during the 2026 midterm elections, including in and around Charlotte. While there are noticeable political forces at play, each have their own reasons for heading to the polls. More than 178,060 people have voted at Mecklenburg County’s early voting sites through Monday, with additional mail-in ballots pushing the county’s total participation to 183,306. Statewide, turnout has exceeded 1.7 million and is tracking well ahead of the 2022 midterms. Longtime Mecklenburg Board of Elections Director Michael Dickerson said previously he expects the county to set a record for early voting turnout in a midterm election, and the latest numbers show that’s still a real possibility. Voters at early voting sites in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties, home to a relatively rare set of competitive legislative races for a general election , told The Charlotte Observer they see this year’s midterms as an opportunity to express their dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s administration. Others say they’re motivated by more local issues, such as the race for North Carolina’s open U.S. Senate seat and constitutional amendments
