But, he added, "A lot of times, Charlotte thinks it is an island unto itself and it doesn't work well with the rest of the state. People pick up on that in the legislature and they resent it."

That's certainly my take. I know only a few people in Charlotte, including a couple of insiders. From all I can tell, the Queen City could care less about North Carolina as a whole. Call me cynical or uninformed, but that's how I see it.
