Charlotte mayor concerned about timeline to fund transit projects

from WCNC Charlotte To Go · host WCNC Charlotte

In an exclusie interview with WCNC Charlotte, Mayor Vi Lyles voices her concern about a 1-cent sales tax getting on the ballot come November. The proposed tax would help fund some of the city's major transit projects, including the Silver Line. Lyles says securing the funding quickly is essential for getting those projects complete on time. A Rowan County school is closed Friday after a strong thunderstorm ripped the roof off a building on campus. Richard DeVayne has the latest update on that, plus recaps the impacts felt across the Charlotte area from Thursday's storms, which took down trees and knocked out power for thousands of people in the metro. The click is ticking for people to file their income taxes, but what happens if you don't meet the April 15 deadline? Sarah French connects the dots on Tax Day and why the penalty can cost much more than you might expect. WCNC Charlotte To Go is a daily news and weather podcast you can listen to so you can start your day with the team at WCNC Charlotte.  SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts || Spotify || Pandora || TuneIn || Google Podcasts || iHeartAll of WCNC Charlotte's podcasts are free and available for both streaming and download.
