The Big One is still a few weeks away, but one-stop early voting kicks off today for folks so inclined. Think of it as fast food for democracy. On that note, is it just a coincidence that early voting starts on the same day that the City of Charlotte’s Solid Waste Services Department kicks off […]
OK ~ a double dose, actually. “… we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet. I went to a number of women’s groups and said, “Can you help us find folks,” and they brought us whole binders full of women.” […]

Super Bowl, huh? Taxpayer-funded stadium upgrades? Right: Matt Ryan took an awful beating. Another win for the Atlanta Falcons will make the pain a lot easier to take.
