State Sen. Jeff Tarte (R-Mecklenburg) talks with WFAE Morning Edition Host Marshall Terry about why he believes it's time to repeal HB 2 and why he believes the Charlotte City Council must act first.

Political leaders, economic leaders – really, anyone with an opinion on House Bill 2 – will be paying close attention to Charlotte City Council Monday night to see if it will rescind its expansion to the city’s non-discrimination ordinance. 

State Senate Leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore say there’s enough support in the General Assembly to kill House Bill 2 if the city acts first. Morning Edition Host Marshall Terry talks with Republican State Senator JeffTarteabout why he thinks it's time for both sides to reset.

Tom Bullock decided to trade the khaki clad masses and traffic of Washington DC for Charlotte in 2014. Before joining WFAE, Tom spent 15 years working for NPR. Over that time he served as everything from an intern to senior producer of NPR’s Election Unit. Tom also spent five years as the senior producer of NPR’s Foreign Desk where he produced and reported from Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Haiti, Egypt, Libya, Lebanon among others. Tom is looking forward to finally convincing his young daughter, Charlotte, that her new hometown was not, in fact, named after her.
Marshall came to WFAE after graduating from Appalachian State University, where he worked at the campus radio station and earned a degree in communication. Outside of radio, he loves listening to music and going to see bands - preferably in small, dingy clubs.
