RALEIGH — During the first few months of America’s war for independence, the British redcoats occupying the rebellious city of Boston won one major battle (for Bunker Hill and nearby Breed’s Hill, on June 17, 1775) as well as several minor skirmishes.

The House Oversight Committee engaged in cynical partisan theatre to paint Charlotte in a negative light despite the fact that Charlotte is safer per capita than many areas in the state, more economically successful, and effectively subsidizes the rest of the state through its contributions to state tax revenue.
