Fun evening with old friends Tuesday: I moderated a panel discussion at #DavidsonNC Friends Meetinghouse on “Democracy’s Enduring Quirk: The Electoral College." It was the last in a six-session program organized by #DavidsonLearns. Our panel was divided on whether the Electoral College should be abolished. Panelists, from left, former Charlotte Observer writer Mark Washburn, Prof. Susan Roberts of Davidson College, Prof. John Wertheimer of Davidson College and lawyer and Davidson Town Commissioner Jim Fuller. ... Wertheimer argued that it's unfair and undemocratic, for example giving Wyoming residents 69 times the per capita voting power of those in California. But Roberts said it would be nearly impossible to amend the Constitution. And Washburn argued it should be kept to ensure rural areas have a voice against more populous areas. (Jake Jacobs photo)

Did you apply for a #solar rebate in #NC this year? Solar advocates and dozens of consumers are asking state regulators to investigate after Duke Energy's online system for solar rebates crashed shortly after the application window opened Jan. 2. Duke says the site got overwhelmed. The company will give you a rebate if you can prove you applied - with browser history, screenshots etc. Details on @wfae and WFAE.org.

Almost eight years after Charlotte's Eastland Mall was torn down, a massive, new development has finally been planned for the site -- one that will surely bring new life to the area, writes @nickdelacanal of @WFAE. But, it may also displace two groups that currently occupy the space - a skateboard park and a Hispanic flea market. Both groups are wondering if there's any way to get included in the new development, and if not, when and how they might be pushed out.
