After spending weeks focusing on the 2020 presidential election, this week's episode is all about Charlotte. Years after the Queen City's non-discrimination ordinance caused shockwaves across North Carolina and ultimately cost the state billions of dollars (and an NBA All-Star Game) will Charlotte move to create another non-discrimination ordinance?
Charlotte City Council members Larken Egleston and Tariq Bokhari discuss how Charlotte can avoid another House Bill 2 disaster now that the bill's ban on local ordinances has expired.
Plus, we take a look at the new transportation plan Charlotte leaders are hoping to approve and how it would be paid for. And speaking of getting around Charlotte, city leaders are considering changing the names of streets that are named after Confederate generals and white supremacists. Is this issue big enough to tackle in 2021?
