On the last day before the runoff election, I received two pieces of mail from the PAC “Citizens for Conservative Leadership, Inc” parroting the tone of Robert Pittenger’s attack adds. More on the PAC here. One was a repeat of an earlier mailing that accused Pendergraph of not doing enough to protect children as sheriff. The other was […]
Charlotte Patriots, Well, they’re at it again. Today, the Charlotte Observer reports that this coming Monday, the Charlotte City Council will once again discuss purchasing the old Eastland Mall property.
