CHARLOTTE – Lynne Fairley, a resident of Brightmore of South Charlotte, has been singing for 80 years, and she’s not stopping now.

Fairley is a member of the Brightnotes, a choral group that brings together residents of the retirement community to sing and occasionally perform for others.

“I’ve been singing since I was 3 years old so that’s almost 80 years,” said Fairley, who sang in church and school choirs throughout her life.

e group was created about eight years ago by a resident who enjoyed singing and invited others to join in. Members get togeth-

er regularly to practice and have performed seasonal concerts and at other events for their residents and families.

“I think the audience enjoys it and it is fun to do,” Fairley said.

Ginny Belue has been a member of the group since 2017. She plays piano to accompany the practices and performances.

“We are just a group of folks that enjoy music,” Belue said.

Brightmore of South Charlotte o ers a continuum of care that includes independent living, assisted living and memory support.

“I’ve done some research and singing is good for the brain,” Fairley said. “It’s also good to be with other people and to do something you enjoy.”

Whether they are perfecting their performances of “Jingle Bells,” “Silent Night” or other tunes, Fairley said being part of the group always hits the right notes for her.

“I like singing and I’m a social person,” she said. “I enjoy being with people, meeting people and making new friends.” On the web: brightmoreofsouthcharlotte.com

Monroe Police Department makes death by distribution arrest

MONROE – e Monroe Police Department has made an arrest as part of an overdose death investigation.

is case began in September 2024 when police responded to the Relax Inn on West Roosevelt Boulevard. Minnie Ledbetter, 41, lost her life due to an overdose.

Over the last seven months, detectives followed up on leads and identi ed the source of the narcotics that led to Ledbetter’s death.

The Monroe Police Department arrested Raquan Neal, 28 of Monroe, on charges of felony death by distribution. He was placed in the Union County Detention Center.

North Carolina passed the death by distribution law in 2019 to combat illicit narcotic distribution and hold drug dealers accountable for criminal conduct. e Monroe Police Department says it is committed to enforce the law and bring justice to victims of drug overdoses.

Proposal: District flexibility, restored master’s pay to benefit educators

( e Center Square) – Increased pay for educators would range from $9,000 to $12,000 and extra compensation for teachers with master’s degrees would be reinstated if a Republican lawmaker’s bill passes in North Carolina.

Raise Teacher Pay & Dollar Allot.Study, also known as House Bill 192, is in the Committee on Appropriations in the state House of Representatives. Support for the bill shepherded by Rep. Erin Paré, R-Wake, has the broad support of 56 lawmakers inclusive of both Republicans and Democrats.

Even the North Carolina Association of Educators, a union-like advocacy organization, has given endorsement despite fair warning from the sponsor.

“It would be best for the NCAE to sit this one out and allow constructive work to be done on behalf of North Carolina teachers,” Paré said. “ e involvement of this hyper-partisan union injects unnecessary political jargon into a serious discussion. I look forward to continuing to ght for this bill in order to create an environment in North Carolina that attracts and retains the best teachers.”

Raise Teacher Pay & Dollar Allot.Study, to be enacted July 1 if adopted, would generate an appropriation just $23 million short of

$1.6 billion in the 2025-26 budget.

The starting pay for first-year teachers would scale between $41,000 and $50,000. e most experienced would increase to between $55,950 and $68,230.

Paré’s proposal combats the critiques of previous plans and the model in place while not altogether changing it. Teachers with 15 to 24 years of experience remain held at, there’s a raise for after 25 years and then at again. ere is a step scale from zero years experience to 15.

In previous proposals, more experienced teachers usually got little, and the less experienced even to rst-year teachers more. e Republicans in the Senate, and their priorities, have also been a stumbling block to previous proposals from their party mates in the lower chamber.

Former Gov. Roy Cooper, like past

Democrats in the o ce before him, has long supported better pay for teachers as does Gov. Josh Stein today. Cooper vetoed more biennial budgets than he signed, including at the expense of teachers’ raises because he wanted them to get more money than o ered.

“Record numbers of teachers are being forced out of the profession, and teacher shortages are making it harder to provide every student with an excellent education,” a statement from the North Carolina Association of Educators said. “But it’s going to take more than a bill. It’s going to take legislative leadership with the strength and commitment to get it through the budget process. at’s something we haven’t seen in a long time.”

Primary cosponsor with Paré, founder of a nonpro t for kids in music education, include a key budget writer in Forsyth County Republican Rep. Donny Lambeth. It also includes Rep. Tricia Cotham, R-Mecklenburg, not only a former Democrat and educator but vice chairman of the powerful Rules Committee, vice chairman of the Appropriations Committee, and chairman of the education arm of the latter.

Rep. Mike Schietzelt, R-Wake, is the fourth cosponsor.

In addition to the pay changes, Paré wants the North Carolina Collaboratory to study a dollar allotment system for public school employee compensation. Paré said this should

Analysis: Charlotte, Raleigh are

( e Center Square) – Taxpayer surplus and burden analysis by Illinois-based Truth in Accounting ranks Raleigh eighth, Charlotte 13th and Greensboro 29th among 75 of the largest cities in America. Respectively, the City of Oaks has the same ranking as last year, and the Queen City and Tournament Town each climbed four spots.

e ninth annual Financial State of the Cities report, produced in cooperation with the Daniels School of Business at the University of Denver, measures scal health of the 75 most populous cities based on comprehensive nancial reports dated 2023.

Sunshine cities

e methodology is to examine the cities' bills, their respective number of taxpayers and determine if there is burden or surplus for each. Grades of A or B are given to governments making their balanced budget requirements; C for passing if it comes close; and D and F when it is not balanced and there are signi cant taxpayer burdens.

The report said Raleigh and Charlotte, each earning a B grade, continued to improve “solidifying status as a Sunshine City.”

Raleigh has $450.6 million available to cover future bills, creating a taxpayer surplus of $2,700. Charlotte has $321.8 million available, creating a taxpayer surplus of $1,000.

Greensboro earned a C grade, and the report says it “showed

some improvement.” Still, the letter grade equates to a Sinkhole City in the analysis. There is $116.8 million needed to cover bills, creating a taxpayer burden of $1,100. No cities on the list reached an A grade, meaning a taxpayer surplus of $10,000 or more. ere were 21 at B, or surplus of $1 to $9,999; 27 were C, or taxpayer burden of $0 to $4,999; and 25 were D, or burden of $5,000 to $20,000. Two cities got an F for burden greater than $20,000. Washington, D.C., like a year ago, led with a taxpayer surplus of $9,000. New York City ($56,800) and Chicago ($40,600) had the largest taxpayer burdens. Tampa, fourth at $3,400 surplus, was the only southeastern city in front of Raleigh.

create a way for the state to support all 115 school districts, each with “more exibility to di erentiate pay in order to hire and retain good people for high demand, hard to hire positions in schools.”

Often, context is lost in the debate on teacher pay and teacher shortages. ere is a total volume of teachers needed, and there is the need for teachers in speci c areas of expertise such as special needs, science or English, etc.

“Being able to recruit and retain great teachers in North Carolina is an important part of improving education outcomes and making sure North Carolina is competitive for talent in our schools,” Paré said in a release. “My bill will increase starting teacher pay to $50,000 and restore master’s degree pay. As a mom of two kids in public school myself, it is important to me that we invest in public education in North Carolina; making sure we are competitive with teacher pay is top priority.”

Twenty-three more Republicans are joining the four primary sponsors. e House has just 49 Democrats and 29 are cosponsoring.

The list from the Democratic party includes Reps. Mary Belk, Terry Brown, Laura Budd, Becky Carney, Carla Cunningham, Beth Helfrich, Brandon Lofton, Carolyn Logan, Jordan Lopez and Nasif Majeed of Mecklenburg County.

Bill would allow Mecklenburg to vote on sales tax increase

RALEIGH – State senators Bill Rabon, David Craven and Vickie Sawyer filed a bill Feb. 24 that would allow Mecklenburg County to seek a transportation referendum.

Charlotte leaders have worked for years to secure a 1 cent sales tax to advance its vision for transit, which includes the future LYNX Red Line, a rail line that would connect the Lake Norman area to Uptown Charlotte. If the bill becomes law, Mecklenburg County citizens would vote on whether they support paying an extra penny toward transportation.

The bill was passed on first reading and referred to the Senate’s rules and operations committee on Feb. 25. Other sponsors include Mecklenburg County senators Mujtaba Mohammed, Deandrea Salvador, Caleb eodros and Joyce Waddell.

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles described Senate Bill 145 as an important milestone for the region.

City and town managers in Charlotte, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Mint Hill and Pineville issued a joint statement that also applauded the bill.

Matthews was missing from the statement. The town is not happy that the LYNX Silver Line East light rail project (Uptown Charlotte to Matthews) may be in jeopardy due to limits on how much sales tax revenue can go to transit projects. With the LYNX Red Line becoming a priority project, there has been talk of converting the Matthews light rail project into a Bus Rapid Transit model.

Matthews Mayor John Higdon issued his own statement.

Below are statements from the managers and mayors.

Mecklenburg County managers

e Managers of Mecklenburg County, the City of Charlotte, and the towns of Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Mint Hill and Pineville, representing 97% of the county, applaud the ling of Senate Bill 145.

Senators Bill Rabon, David Craven and Vickie Sawyer, as sponsors of the bill, deserve our sincere thanks and appreciation for understanding the importance of this proposal and for allowing our community the opportunity to determine its transportation future by making a choice for increased regional transportation infrastructure investments.

e bill provides the opportunity for unprecedented funding for roads, transit and bus systems that will have both immediate and long-term impacts for our commuters, residents and visitors.

e road funding provisions are unique in that funds will be allocated directly to the city and the individual towns across the county where local governments will have the independent authority to make decisions about roads, intersections, safety improvements and other ancillary road enhancements

within their communities that will have a positive daily impact on residents.

The city and the towns have road infrastructure needs that are currently unfunded and cost our citizens time, car upkeep, impaired quality of life and limit growth opportunities.

New funding would be available to address these needs and also help solve the "orphaned road" problem that has been a concern for many for far too long.

e overall impact this legislation provides for our region is extraordinary and will enhance our opportunity to continue to meaningfully contribute to the state's economy.

We express our genuine gratitude to the forward-thinking sponsors of Senate Bill 145 and look forward to supporting them and their colleagues in the North Carolina House.

Partnerships between localities and our state lawmakers, as demonstrated by the ling of this bill, are why our state continues to enjoy the success it has achieved.

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles

I want to thank the many people who worked so hard to get us to this point and the members of the Metropolitan Transit Commission for their continued work.

I also want to express my gratitude to Senator Vickie Sawyer, chair of the Transportation Committee; Senator Bill Rabon, chair of the Transportation Committee; and Senator David Craven, chair of the Finance Committee, for introducing this bill and understanding the importance of this work to our region and our state.

In a community that presents opportunity, where more people are arriving every day, this will provide infrastructure to support a good quality of life. It will help secure a more prosperous and better future

CATS SEEKS INPUT ON TRANSIT SYSTEM PLAN UPDATE

through transportation investments.

We still have a lot of work to do, but having a bill filed is an important milestone – one that we have been working towards for years.

I look forward to the work in front of us, with our partners, to deliver on a future that will make a difference for all of us because it will make a difference in the quality of life for our region.

It’s also important to point out the creation and governance structure of a new regional transit authority is also critical to our region’s long-term success. It is my strong desire that the structure that the city, county and majority of towns agreed to remain intact.

Matthews Mayor John Higdon

The Matthews Board of Commissioners has taken a strong stand against the transit proposal, as it does away with the long-planned light rail connection to our town.

As mayor, I remain committed to ghting for a plan that provides su cient funding for Silver Line East to be built as light rail all the way to Matthews.

Reliable, e cient transportation is critical for economic growth, accessibility and quality of life, but it must be planned equitably and serve the entire region – not just select areas.

I, along with the Matthews Board of Commissioners, will continue advocating for a transit plan that delivers on its commitments and provides meaningful solutions for all communities, including our own.
