Western North Carolina Rep. Chuck Edwards ends his reelection bid after a censure recommendation from the House Ethics Committee. Charlotte City Council holds discussions this week on toll lanes, data centers, e-bikes and more. Plus, the state's hemp industry can chill. House Republicans vote against holding a vote that would have killed the industry.

As e-bikes become more common on Charlotte's streets, concerns are growing over how some people are riding them and the safety risks they pose. Injury rates involving e-bikes among children and adolescents surged 7.5-fold between January 2023 and May 2026, with nearly 7% of those visits involving traumatic brain injuries. We look at how e-bikes are regulated and what the city of Charlotte may do about them.

In this episode, I get to talk with Kibri Everett - environmental scientist, GIS specialist, PhD candidate at UNC-Charlotte, and founder of Key Environmental Consulting - to pull back the curtain on the data center boom sweeping the nation.Kibri has been on the front lines of this issue long before it hit the headlines. She recently testified before the Charlotte City Council, helping to secure a unanimous vote for a 150-day moratorium on new data centers - a major grassroots win. In this conversation, she breaks down what that fight looked like and why it matters far beyond Charlotte:How data centers consume staggering amounts of water and energy while gobbling up land in majority-minority communitiesThe xAI/Memphis nightmare, where hundreds of diesel generators are spewing air pollution in a historically Black neighborhoodWhy the AI revolution is an environmental justice crisis, with hyperscale facilities are targeting the same communities that have always been sacrificed for industrial developmentWhat the Charlotte moratorium actually accomplished, and why 150 days is just a startPractical strategy for communities facing a data center proposal: where to organize, who to call, and how to bring data-driven expertise to your fightKibri also shares how her company helps community groups arm themselves with the technical knowledge they need to stand up to billion-dollar tech companies, and why strength in numbers is the most powerful tool we've got.If you've ever wondered what's really powering the AI boom, and whether your community could be next on the list, this episode is essential listening.Follow Kibri Everett:Key Environmental Consulting LinkedInHBCU Environmental Justice Technical CollaborativeResources: Charlotte, NC approves data center moratorium - The Charlotte Observer "Stop Dirty Data Centers" Campaign - NAACP$64 billion of data center projects have been blocked or delayed amid local opposition - Data Center WatchBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support.Don't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

Charlotte City Council is looking for ways to address teen takeovers and may implement a stricter curfew. There's a new wrinkle in the I-77 toll lane saga. South Carolina U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham's sister has been appointed to fill his seat in Congress, and a parasitic illness has arrived in North Carolina.

Tune in here to this ​Tuesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen discusses a proposal from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to implement a new 9 p.m. curfew for minors. Jensen notes that the proposed rule would apply to anyone younger than 18 but would exempt minors accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or adult 21 or older, among other exceptions. He expresses concern that some members on the Charlotte City Council might oppose the measure and shares his reasons for believing it should be approved, citing recent incidents involving teenagers at Romare Bearden Park and in University City.

This week, the Charlotte City Council appointed Rob Harrington as the next mayor and approved a pilot program to bring red-light cameras back. Meanwhile, the General Assembly overrode four of Gov. Josh Stein's vetoes. The Hornets also traded away guard LaMelo Ball. We discuss it all on this week's local news roundup.

Food has always been a means to connect with others, but recent studies show Americans are spending more time dining alone. Social connection is critically important for our health and happiness, and sharing meals is associated with greater wellbeing. We discuss why that is and what we stand to lose when we stop gathering for meals. Plus, attorney Rob Harrington will be Charlotte's next mayor.

CMS Superintendent Crystal Hill is placed on leave, facing an investigation into how the district is run. Monroe City Council votes to reverse course and renew support for the I-77 toll lanes.

Tune in here to this ​Friday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by discussing data released by the Charlotte Area Transit System, comparing the first quarter of 2026 with the first quarter of 2025. Jensen notes that information in the report suggests crime and assaults on CATS transit have decreased significantly. He challenges the interpretation that the decline is solely the result of improved policing or accountability measures, arguing that an important factor is being overlooked. Additionally, he contends that the Charlotte City Council failed to treat transit crime as a serious issue for many years. Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.

Legislative leaders break the impasse on the budget. That means state employees and teachers may finally get a raise. In the race to replace Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, calls have come for a Black person to fill that slot. Charlotte City Council withdraws its support for the I-77 toll lanes, and the CMS board approves its $2.1 billion budget.

On episode 102, Charlotte City Council District 5 representative JD Mazuera Arias drops by amid a big week in local government news, including a surprise vote to rescind the city's support for the I-77 toll lane project and taking an anticipated step forward toward a potential moratorium on data centers.  Editor's Note: A production error during the recording of this episode negatively impacted the sound quality, making it sound more like a Zoom meeting than a sit-down interview in a studio, despite the latter being the reality.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – As opposition builds against the I-77 expansion project, one idea that we apparently missed out on: a free mile of tunnel. The offer was made by The Boring Company in an open contest soliciting proposals. The Boring Company is owned by Elon Musk... whose role in the early Trump administration prompted the Democrats on Charlotte City Council to ban any purchases of Teslas. So... we probably never had a chance at winning.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – A deeply researched story at the Charlotte Observer explores the bigotry of calling Councilman Juan Diego Mazuera Arias by his adopted first name "JD." Apparently, his fellow Democrats on council have been referring to him as "Councilman JD" and wishes they would use his two last names. But he doesn't want to make a big deal about it.

CMPD released crime statistics for last year. A petition to remove Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden had its first court hearing.

Charlotte has been grappling with those issues for years — and now that Joi Mayo, J.D. Mazuera Arias and Kimberly Owens have started their terms, we'll see how their priorities translate into action.

Early voting is underway in Charlotte's municipal elections. The only competitive district race on Charlotte City Council is the one in District 6, formerly represented by Tariq Bokhari, who stepped down. Now his wife, Krista, is running as a Republican against Democrat Kimberly Owens. Last week we spent time with Owens. Today, a conversation with Bokhari about why she wants the job.

There's another gerrymander as North Carolina lawmakers say they'll redraw districts to allow for one more Republican; an outside investigation clears Charlotte City Council of accusations of unethical, immoral or illegal conduct the CEO of LendingTree dies unexpectedly; and the Panthers have a chance at a winning record.
