@joeovies Agreed. But 20 yrs ago Charlotte leadership would have put together a plan and found a billionaire to lead MLB push, knowing corporate backing is
$$$ stronger than in Triangle. Now, that driven, unified leadership doesn’t exist and/or doesn’t view MLB as worthy.
Capital Group is leasing nearly 200K sqft in uptown Charlotte's One Independence Center, Charlotte Business Journal says. 20-story 1983-era bldg was vacated by Robinson Bradshaw lawfirm, among others. LA-based American Funds owner @CapitalGroup plans 600 jobs in CLT.
First step is to require any hospitals that enjoy Non Profit Tax Benefits, to publish monthly all of their actual General Ledger transactions and invoices.
You are non profit. You are being subsidized and often funded by taxpayers. We are your stakeholders, along with patients. There ain't a damn economic thing that you can't show.
And no, Medicare Cost Reports are not comprehensive accounting reports.. They are pretty much useless for this.
Second step is to make all NDAs and Confidentiality Agreements for any financial healthcare agreement, illegal
It's beyond insane that US Senators, and POTUS, can't see what the federal government is paying for medications being provided through TriCare.
With these sources of data, then, and pretty much only then, could proponents of M4A begin to figure out a plan
Congratulations to Kellie Hunt Blue on being elected Chair of the UNC Board of Governors. I am so proud to see one of Robeson County’s own taking the helm of North Carolina’s public university system.
Wegmans is playing their great PR game with first CLT store coming in October! Hurray! I'll stay partial to Food Lion, keeping Tar Heels fed and employed since 1957.

South Carolina has had a Black Secretary of State, a Black State Treasurer, two Black Lieutenant Governors, a Black Attorney General, and one of their U.S. Senators is Black.
ALL Republicans, by the way.
I remember when people were too embarrassed to display their ignorance.
Charlotte school board plans 7am meeting today after recent tension between superintendent Hill and board delayed budget approval. She’s already outlasted some recent predecessors in what’s become a revolving door job.
CMS Board is holding an emergency meeting at 7 am, Wednesday morning to discuss personnel matters. That’s rather unusual. Some wonder if Dr Crystal Hill is in trouble of losing her job as superintendent, while others speculate it could be the hiring of a new school system atty.
NC House Speaker Destin Hall said he doesn’t want CLT to ask for more than $600M pledged by state for 177 project. Anyone expect city will ask for less after this pause? https://t.co/M8t6fMzqxA

Charlotte councilors slow down I77 rehab, show continued distrust of NCDOT’s and local officials’ years of work on an interstate ranked among most congested and crash-plagued in NC. #ncpol
Charlotte City Council just passed a resolution asking NCDOT to pause the I-77 project and do an independent third-party reevaluation of a possible non-toll option.
This is non-binding. Mayfield says it gives the "community an idea of a win that's not actually there."
