Since we have an actual Republican primary for Charlotte city council at-large, Meck Deck sent out a candidate survey the other day. Responses have come in (although not all of them) so we’ll start posting them, one at time, in the order they came in.

Here’s the survey. First response will be up shortly.

QUESTIONS

1. What is the greatest challenge facing Charlotte today?

2. Which is your higher priority — Making Charlotte a great place to live or making Charlotte a great place to visit?

3. Do you support or oppose the repeal of half-cent transit tax for transit?

4. Identify at least one segment/department/fund of city government that might be a candidate for cost savings.

5. Given the new change in state law allowing tax increment financing to be used to build schools and parks, do you support exploring interlocal agreements which might be used to help build schools/parks in the city?
