		<description><![CDATA[When David Walters looks at Charlotte’s growth, he sees haphazardness everywhere. A resident of Charlotte since 1990, the professor of architecture at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte said he has watched the city take shape with little rhyme or reason, veering off in multiple directions with no clear guiding principles. As a result, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Mecklenburg County commissioners on the Economic Development Committee heard from officials with the Charlotte Knights as the team sought more time to build a stadium uptown. The county owns the land that the Triple-A team is eyeing for the stadium, and the team has a lease from the county for the site. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Voting along party lines Tuesday night, the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners approved a $1.39 billion budget for fiscal 2012. The budget, OK&#8217;d in a 5-4 vote, includes a lower property tax rate of 81.66 cents per $100 in valuation from 83.67 cents per $100 in valuation.

		<description><![CDATA[Mecklenburg County&#8217;s 2011 property tax revaluation could result in the county raking in an extra $70 million in revenue for its fiscal 2012 budget. For some county commissioners, the money is already burning a hole in their pockets, and they&#8217;ve come up with their wish lists. Some are calling for more spending on schools.

		<description><![CDATA[In a revelation that is angering environmentalists, the state is not required to hold public hearings before it awards an air-quality permit for ReVenture Park&#8217;s controversial waste-to-energy plant proposed for western Mecklenburg County. That doesn&#8217;t mean there won&#8217;t be any hearings before the permit is awarded. Officials say it&#8217;s up to the director of the [...]]]></description>

James, a Republican representing District 6, has been one of Mecklenburg County&#8217;s most polarizing and talked-about politicians, offending blacks, gays and immigrants in a recurring cycle of remark, outcry, defense and, ultimately, re-election.
