New CLT Airport Authority Lands In Court

RALEIGH — After six months of intense debate, Senate Bill 81 became law July 18 without Gov. Pat McCrory’s signature. That is because S.B. 81 is a local bill that does not require his approval. McCrory maintained for months the airport measure was a local matter and should have been settled amicably. Instead, shortly after the bill’s passage, the city filed suit to block the law from taking effect.
