There's more troubling news about election fraud in the 9th Congressional district. Winter weather closes schools adding to days needed to be made up. Another electric scooter company comes to town. Will this finally prompt regulation? Join us at 7th Street Market as Mike Collins and our roundtable of reporters detail those and other stories.
On this edition of the Local News Roundup…
The story of this year’s 9th District Congressional Election and investigations into election fraud have not ended yet. Could we see a new election in this race? We’ll give you the latest on what’s happening.
This week’s winter weather prompted school closings and delays which will now need to be made up. How is CMS handling this year’s schedule? Also, Superintendent Clayton Wilcox was praised for closing only the schools where roads were treacherous, rather than the entire system.
Another electric scooter company landed in Charlotte this week- but Charlotte still doesn’t have regulations in place for scooter safety. Will more scooters on the roads prompt regulaton?
And more details emerge on Atrium Health’s $1 billion expansion plan. We’ll fill you in.
Join host Mike Collins and the roundup reporters at 7th Street Market Uptown as we go through those stories and much more with our roundtable of reporters on the Charlotte Talks Local News Roundup.
