🌱 New City Council Committees + Couple Married In Airport

Hi all. It's me, Danielle Fallon-O'Leary, your host of the Daily. Here are all the things you need to know about what's happening locally.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and pleasant. High: 82 Low: 60.

Here are the top three stories in Charlotte today:

1. New Charlotte City Council committees have been announced by Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles. The new committees include four committees that cover a variety of topics impacting the community. Some committees were merged together to better reflect how issues interconnect. The council and mayor hope that the new committees will allow officials to work more horizontally on issues and designs. Click the following link to review the new committees. (WBTV)
2. A couple has tied the knot at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Liz and Adam planned their wedding at the airport since they first met on an American Airlines flight from Cleveland, Ohio. The newly-wed couple hopped on a flight to Florida after walking down the aisle (the airport's atrium). The airport shared the couple's wedding photos on its social media accounts. (Fox 10 Phoenix)
3. A Charlotte woman has claimed $200,000 through the North Carolina Lottery's Cash family of games. Celise Redmon collected her prize at the Lottery's headquarters on Monday. After taxes, she went home with $142,021. The winning scratch-off ticket was purchased from Mountain Island BP on Vinnies Way. (msnNOW)
