Only in Charlotte.

Only in the QC would city staff and the dopey pols who rubber stamp them argue that outlawing nine cab companies would be good for consumers. But hey, once you understand the city-owned airport’s business model — serve cartels, gouge local consumers — then it all makes sense.

I am more baffled — outraged really, as if it mattered — that the city attorney’s office is running interference for the deal and downplaying an FBI investigation of local cab companies defrauding the county’s DSS minions. City attorneys have no role in characterizing an ongoing federal investigation of local government contractors. None.

Quite unbelievable. But like I said…
