Mecklenburg voters will decide on a referendum to levy a 1-cent sales tax to fund Charlotte's transit plan. That tax would generate nearly $20 billion over 30 years for various transit projects. Proponents say the time is now to make this critical decision. Others urge a no vote because of who will be hurt by rising taxes. We look at both sides.

1986 kündigten Flugblätter in Ostberlin den Start eines „unabhängigen Senders“ an. Daraufhin fuhren Peilwagen durch die Straßen, hunderte zivile Stasimitarbeiter waren im Einsatz und ein Hubschrauber mit einem Ortungsgerät kreiste über der Stadt. Vergeblich. Pünktlich meldete sich der illegale Radiosender auf der UKW-Frequenz. Radiopiraten zwischen Sachsen, Berlin und Mecklenburg nahmen ein hohes Risiko auf sich. Neben politischen Motiven war es oftmals eine fast kindliche Begeisterung für westliche Popkultur, die auf fiebrige Bastelleidenschaft, jugendliches Aufbegehren und ungestillte Abenteuerlust trafen. Von Thomas Gaevert SWR 2023

In this episode, we hear from Shannon Binns of Sustain Charlotte, who makes the case for a “YES” vote on the proposed transportation sales tax referendum. Binns argues that investing in transit, roads, sidewalks and bike lanes is essential to keep up with the region's explosive growth, improve safety, reduce congestion and make Charlotte more competitive for the future.In a conversation with Charlotte Ledger editor Tony Mecia, Binns explains why he believes the plan offers a balanced approach — funding roads and safety improvements, expanding bus and rail service, and creating cleaner, healthier communities. He urges voters to seize this rare opportunity to build a transportation system that serves everyone.Binns also wrote a column expressing his ideas in a recent edition of Transit Time, a weekly newsletter on transit and transportation produced by The Charlotte Ledger and WFAE.THE OTHER SIDE: This episode and accompanying column are part of a two-part series exploring the arguments for and against Mecklenburg's transportation referendum, which is on the Nov. 4 ballot. Be sure to check out the perspecive of the "VOTE NO" side, in a conversation and column by Robert Dawkins of Action NC.Together, these different perspectives provide a balanced look at both sides of the transportation sales tax debate.The Charlotte Ledger Podcast is produced by Lindsey Banks.

In this episode, we talk with Robert Dawkins of Action NC, who explains why he believes raising Mecklenburg's sales tax to pay for transit and transportation is unfair and misguided. Dawkins advocates for a "NO" vote on November's referendum, arguing that the plan puts too heavy a burden on low- and middle-income families, lacks accountability and repeats a pattern of broken promises from previous city transportation initiatives.In a conversation with Charlotte Ledger editor Tony Mecia, Dawkins shares stories from his work with displaced residents, outlines concerns about transparency and oversight and questions whether the city's mobility plan truly serves those who rely on public transportation the most. He urges voters to take a closer look at who benefits—and who bears the costs—of the proposed tax.Dawkins also wrote a column expressing his ideas in a recent edition of Transit Time, a weekly newsletter on transit and transportation produced by The Charlotte Ledger and WFAE.THE OTHER SIDE: This episode and accompanying column are part of a two-part series exploring the arguments for and against Mecklenburg's transportation referendum, which is on the Nov. 4 ballot.

In dieser Episode sprechen wir über die neuesten, aufregenden Entwicklungen im Bereich Retro-Spiele und Konsolen. Holger und Arne teilen ihre Begeisterung für Hitchis saure Drachenzungen und deren kulinarische Besonderheiten, während sie sich mit ihren aktuellen Gaming-Erlebnissen auseinandersetzen. Besonders im Fokus steht das Spiel „1943“, ein klassischer Top-Down-Shooter, den Arne auf dem Super Pocket ausprobiert hat. Er diskutiert die Herausforderungen, die daraus resultieren, dass Lebensenergie und Treibstoff im Spiel miteinander verknüpft sind und schildert seine Schwierigkeiten, die erste Mission erfolgreich abzuschließen. Holger berichtet von seinen Erfahrungen mit der Steuerung des Spiels auf dem EXP im Tatei-Modus und liefert Einblick in die Mechaniken und Unterschiede im Vergleich zu „1942“, dem Vorgänger des Spiels. Die beiden Spieler sind sich einig, dass die grafische Darbietung und die Steuerung des neueren Titels durchaus ansprechend sind, insbesondere für Retro-Fans. Im weiteren Verlauf der Episode wird über Holgers Erfahrungen mit „Need for Speed Payback“ und seinen Streben nach dem Vollzug der Trophäen gesprochen. Der Übergang zu den aktuellen Ereignissen in der Gaming-Welt erfolgt über die Diskussion zu Nintendo Direct. Arne beleuchtet die Neuankündigungen, von „Monster Hunter Stories 3“ bis zu „Star Wars Outlaws“, und reflektiert über seine Meinung zu den anstehenden Titeln. Außerdem wird die interessante Gadget-Entwicklung des Almiibo vorgestellt, über das Arne mit Enthusiasmus spricht. Er erklärt, wie dieses kleine Gerät es ermöglicht, Amiibo-Figuren unkompliziert digital zu emulieren, was den Nutzern eine praktische Alternative zu physischen Figuren bietet. Die Effektivität dieses Gadgets wird mit großer Begeisterung gewürdigt. Des Weiteren kommen Holger und Arne auf ihre Erlebnisse in Mecklenburg zu sprechen, wo Arne beim Renovieren eines alten Hauses geholfen hat. Hier werden auch Eindrücke von einer Burggartenführung im Schweriner Schloss geteilt, wodurch die Zuhörer einen Einblick in die malerische Landschaft und Kultur der Region erhalten. Abschließend reflektieren die beiden über ihre eigenen Märchen von Spielen und deren Einfluss auf die aktuellen Gaming Trends, einschließlich eines kritischen Blicks auf „Mario Kart World“ und die Frage nach den Langzeitperspektiven für Spiele mit Online-Zwang. Diese Episodenhöhepunkte bieten den Hörenden sowohl Unterhaltung als auch tiefere Einblicke in die Gaming-Welt von heute.

Running a large parks system in a fast-growing county might sound overwhelming, but for Nick Walker, it's exactly the kind of challenge he was looking for. The former Memphis parks director took over as head of Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation in February 2025 and now oversees more than 290 parks, greenways and facilities across 22,500 acres.Since arriving in Charlotte, Walker has been getting to know the system from the inside out. He's toured parks, met staff and listened to residents' feedback as the department begins updating its master plan — a process that will help shape future investments in parks, sports fields, pools and community centers. While the county has made major progress in recent years — completing more than 50 of 85 planned projects — Walker says the demand still outpaces what's currently in place.On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Walker sits down with The Ledger's Lindsey Banks to talk about his vision for the county's parks and recreation system, the challenges of managing a growing park system, and upcoming projects he's excited about. They also discuss what drew Walker to Charlotte, big-picture needs like more ball fields and pools, and the accuracy of the NBC sitcom “Parks & Rec."Today's episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast is sponsored by Child Care Search, a service of Child Care Resources Inc.

Much of the central and eastern U.S. is sweltering under dangerously hot and humid conditions, with temperatures near 100 degrees. The heat index in Charlotte is as high as 108 during the first heat wave of the summer. We examine the impact of excessive heat on health, how to stay safe, and why Mecklenburg is one of North Carolina's hardest-hit counties.

Arrests have been made in connection with a mass shooting in Catawba County. CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings survived a vote of no confidence by the Fraternal Order of Police. Mecklenburg County officials are calling for civility after crickets were released during a commissioners meeting. And there's a lot to like in Charlotte sports right now.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Before Mecklenburg County Commissioners could vote on a $2.5 billion budget plan for 2026, leftists dumped boxes of live crickets in the chamber, prompting a recess to allow workers to vacuum up the insects. The leftists were protesting county funding for a law enforcement training center that the activists call "cop city."

Commissioners hire a new Mecklenburg County manager. Rain helps firefighters battling mountain wildfires. A wrinkle in the race for state supreme court. And South Carolina women's basketball team and Duke men's basketball team each head to the Final Four.

After years of several Democratic sheriffs in North Carolina opting out of a federal immigration program, the General Assembly passed a law requiring them to participate. The purpose is to aid U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in removing undocumented immigrants. But in Mecklenburg County, there remains an ongoing dispute over the law. Sheriff McFadden joins us to share his point of view.

Karl Mecklenburg, former Denver Broncos captain and All-Pro linebacker, defied the odds as a college walk-on and 12th-round draft pick to become one of the NFL's most versatile players. With six Pro Bowl appearances, three Super Bowl appearances, and an induction into the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame, Karl's career exemplifies resilience, determination, and leadership.
