The county is set to vote on whether to reverse its rejection of the I-77 toll lane project, and we’ll see which way he’s leaning. Plus, the state finally has a budget — after a long delay — and we’ll look at how the county dealt with the uncertainty surrounding it. We’ll also get into data centers, finances, the immigration crackdown and more with Mecklenburg County Commission Chair Mark Jerrell.
