Amidst the swirl of news, headlines and distractions surrounding the DNC (wholly coincidental, I’m sure), Mecklenburg County Manager Harry Jones announced today that Mary Wilson has been “terminated” as director of the Department of Social Services. Sources say Wilson was given the option to step down from her post, or be fired. Apparently, she preferred […]
First it was supposed to be four days with a huge shindig at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which got trimmed to three days with a parade uptown.
