In this episode of Shaping Charlotte, Tesho Akindele and Clayton Sealey host a spirited debate on one of the city’s biggest ballot issues this November: the transit referendum.

Former City Council Member and Mayor Pro Tem Braxton Winston shares why he believes the current plan misses the mark, while attorney Larry Shaheen, who helped shape the legislation, makes the case for why it’s the right move for Charlotte’s future.

Together, they dig into questions of equity, trust, funding, and what’s at stake for our region whether the measure passes or fails.
