For those looking to kill some time before the Gov Cooper presser, #MeckBOCC is meeting now: mecklenburg.ravnur.com/live/BOCC
Today's meeting will go until 5:00

Dunlap, Cotham and Powell voted no (for the meeting to last longer if needed) #MeckBOCC
Commissioner Susan Rodriguez McDowell thought she was voting for the meeting to last until 5:30 so the Clerk is changing her vote. It won't change the outcome, the meeting will still end at 5.
