CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Local lawmakers are calling it a sneak attack. They’re describing the NC Senate finance bill that puts the fight to control Charlotte-Douglas International back on the front burner.

A bill backed by Senator Bob Rucho and Representative Ruth Samuelson, who both represent Mecklenburg, would put operational control of the airport into the hands of a new commission. It is something the city of Charlotte has been fighting in court.
