Charlotte’s City Council has its very own soap opera, starring Councilwoman Tiawana Brown.

Facing a federal indictment for allegedly funneling $124,000 in phony COVID relief to herself and her daughters (including a $15,000 “business expense” that happened to be her 50th birthday bash), Brown has loudly declared she ain’t going anywhere. “Why would I resign? I haven’t been convicted of anything,” she told reporters defiantly.

In true drama meter fashion, she repaid about $20k “when it was brought to my attention” something was fishy and insists the whole mess “has nothing to do with my city.”

Now she’s attending council meetings under a cloud of 20-year felony charges and refusing to step down. The result? A City Hall circus with a side of legal peril – and a Drama Meter reading that’s spiking off the charts.
