Lawmakers to set Meck commissioner districts?: "(By April Bethea, abethea@charlotteobserver.com) The state Senate tentatively approved a bill tonight to redraw Mecklenburg commissioner districts, paving the way for the Republican-led General Assembly -- and not the Democratic-leaning county board -- to set the new election lines.
A third reading on the bill is set for Thursday. If approved, the measure would move to the state House."
