Solid Support of Charlotte's Future by our Voters

Here is a brief write-up by Ivanna with our company about the solid support that Charlotte, it's current leaders and our growth was given by way of the recent elections:

1. Green-light for Mass Transit Projects: Voters made an emphatic statement Tuesday about how they view the future of Charlotte-Mecklenburg and its public transportation. The overwhelming majority believe an urban region needs more mass transportation choices, and that a half-penny sales tax remains a satisfactory way to pay for them.

2. Voters approve CMS (local school) Bonds- With renewed trust in school leadership and a painful awareness of the need for more classrooms, Mecklenburg voters Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a record school bond request. With all returns counted, 68 percent of voters backed the $516 million package for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.

3. Mayor celebrates winning 7th Term- Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory celebrated a double victory Tuesday, easily winning a seventh term and watching voters overwhelmingly re-endorse the transit tax he championed a decade ago. No Charlotte mayor before him served more than four terms. For the 200,000 Charlotteans not here before 1995, he's the only mayor they've known.He called Tuesday's twin victory "an affirmation."
"I consider it a victory for Charlotte, both its leadership and its vision," he said. "It really gives me a lot of confidence that voters aren't just thinking about today, they're thinking about tomorrow. There's just a quiet majority out there who believe we are on the right track."
