Hmm, when Charlotte city staffers tell Mary Newsom that City pulls plug on proposed loud music measure my ears prick up. Will regular, everyday folks planning to attend the widely broadcast public hearing at 3pm on Monday get ample opportunity to review whatever it is that Mac Carley and crew come up with?

They should.

In fact, Mac should have the new language ready for public inspection by 5pm today. That way there will be no surprises and everyone can go into the hearing on a level playing field.

Deal?
