'It didn't seem to make sense'. Retired Mecklenburg manager details controversial CMS contract (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Former Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Crystal Hill has said in a leaked memo that former CMS board chair Stephanie Sneed secured a $30,000-per-month consulting subcontract for a political ally, Raki McGregor, without the knowledge of Hill or much of the board. The push to secure a contract for McGregor came after former Mecklenburg County Manager Dena Diorio last year severed ties with McGregor’s wife’s consulting business, which had received more than $500,000 from the county.

Did the School Board just fire a protected whistleblower in Crystal Hill? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This story appeared first as part of WFAE Politics Reporter Steve Harrison's weekly newsletter Inside Politics. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board made a stunning decision last week, firing Superintendent Crystal Hill in a 5-4 vote.

They were concerned about the impact on historically

Read excerpt
A competitive state Senate race in southeast Mecklenburg County is once again focused on the Democratic candidate’s past sales work for a company that law enforcement officials called a massive pyramid scheme. Incumbent Woodson Bradley says that she was not perpetrating fraud — but was a victim. Republican Staci McGinn says that’s absurd. Two years ago, McGinn attacked Bradley over her past work as a top salesperson for Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing. In 2013, the then-attorney general of Kentucky sa
The I-77 suspense is almost over (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 10-month saga of the Interstate 77 toll lanes is coming to a conclusion. The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization will vote – again – on Sept. 23 on whether or not to back the controversial project, which would add two toll lanes in each direction from uptown to the South Carolina line. CRTPO rejected the project in May, and it appeared dead. But Republican lawmakers – and Democratic Gov. Josh Stein’s Department of Transportation – have been pushing local governments to ch
