I really enjoyed following Josh King's #AmericanIdol journey over the last couple months! I interviewed Josh a couple times throughout the process, but speaking with Josh and his mom was just the sweetest! @wsoctv @AmericanIdol wsoctv.com/news/local/matthe…

Serious momentum for the transit referendum. New statement from the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance-- which Speaker Hall and Senate Leader Phil Berger will be addressing today Charlotte Regional Business Alliance, business community, support advancement of the Mecklenburg transportation referendum CHARLOTTE, NC-- The Charlotte business community strongly supports legislation filed today at the North Carolina General Assembly to expand our region’s transportation system. As one of the fastest growing regions in the United States, with 117 people moving to the area every day, we must stay ahead of other metros and keep pace with our population growth to ensure people have mobility choices and we can provide for the reliable movement of goods and services. Legislators are stepping up to lead the effort at the General Assembly. Senators Bill Rabon, David Craven, and Vickie Sawyer have filed legislation to advance the transportation plan. Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger has also been a leading pro-growth voice for North Carolina. We appreciate their leadership. The legislation will allow the people of Mecklenburg with an opportunity to vote yes for much greater investments in roads, transit and bus systems to ensure we maintain the outstanding quality of life we know is threatened by increasing congestion. Having a transportation system that meets the needs of our growing population and ensures we remain attractive for businesses to grow and relocate here is critical to our sustained economic vitality. We look forward to working with the North Carolina Senate and lawmakers in the North Carolina House to continue to move the transportation plan forward and proactively plan for the continued growth and prosperity of our region. By 2050, the region’s population is expected to swell nearly 50% to 4.6 million.

Minor change to our forecast. Main change, nearly all of this now holds off until overnight. -Precip is just too light and temps too warm for anything to add up today (outside of the mtns,) -Lowered amounts for foothills to just 1" -Still expecting less than 1" in the metro.

Danasia Elder loved God, her kids and travel. The Charlotte woman was a flight attendant on last night's flight from Wichita to DC. Her brother in law tells me she was full of life. She leaves behind a husband and two children, Kayden and Dallas @wsoctv

(1/2) I've been spending the last couple months at home with the latest addition to our family, Holden šŸ’™ As you would imagine, we're going through LOTS of diapers. I'm incredibly lucky to have access to them. But many do not. It's a critical need - with a ripple effect...
