Charlotte today relaxing at Romare Bearden park. Can we ask you a question about the special session . Youre not going to answer our question . His staff told us he didnt have time to comment. While tensions remain evident over the ordinance, state leaders remain under pressure from both sides. We hope the governor and the General Assembly will do the right thing. Were going to fight to make sure we do whats right here. As we saw today, there are big differences of opinion still about what the right thing to do here is.
