<description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;html&amp;gt;Mecklenburg legislators at community forum   Seven legislators will take part in the Observer s Community forum:   House   &amp;nbsp;REP. BILL BRAWLEY,&lt;a href=&quot;http://tintalatina.com/wildfire-forces-new-closures-yosemite-national-park&quot;&gt;Wildfire forces new closures at Yosemite National&lt;/a&gt;, R (Chairs the House Transportation Committee; recently named co-chair of Finance)   The Matthews Republican shepherded Gov. Pat McCrory s transportation overhaul through both chambers and was a key player in two issues important to Charlotte: transferring control of the airport and helping the Carolina Panthers finance stadium improvements.     &amp;nbsp;REP. BEVERLY EARLE,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eeddd.com/content/sun-sentinel-insider3&quot;&gt;Sun Sentinel Insider_3&lt;/a&gt;, D (Vice chair of House Health and Human Services Committee)   She s Mecklenburg County s senior lawmaker. Like most other Democrats this year, she had little influence on major legislation and usually found herself in the minority.     &amp;nbsp;REP. RUTH SAMUELSON, R (Republican House Conference Leader; chairs House Banking Committee)   Heavily involved in legislation including the airport, Panthers stadium improvements and abortion. Was a key player in crafting compromises on stadium financing and the airport. The measure creating a new airport commission is being challenged by the city of Charlotte in court.   Senate   &amp;nbsp;SEN. DAN CLODFELTER, D (Former Finance Committee chair)   Found himself in the position of fighting most GOP legislation. With Republican Sen. Fletcher Hartsell of Cabarrus County,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.getyourfrogon.com/blog/?p=63410&quot;&gt;Yanda, Webb active for Ravens, Dickson, McPhee scratched&lt;/a&gt;, crafted a tax overhaul bill that never made it out of committee.     &amp;nbsp;SEN. MALCOLM GRAHAM, D (Chairs Mecklenburg delegation)   Like other Democrats, found himself in the minority on party-line votes. Defended Charlotte s control of airport. Often served as a foil for Sen. Bob Rucho and other Republicans.     &amp;nbsp;SEN. BOB RUCHO, R (Co-chairs Senate Finance Committee)   Played key roles in much of the session s major legislation including a voter ID bill and a proposed Charlotte airport authority. When Senate leaders rejected his sweeping tax overhaul proposal,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livfutbol.org/component/kunena/2-welcome-mat/428867-walter-reed-a-leader-in-breast?Itemid=0#428867&quot;&gt;Walter Reed a leader in breast&lt;/a&gt;, he briefly broke with party leaders and offered to give up his Finance gavel.     &amp;nbsp;SEN. JEFF TARTE,&lt;a href=&quot;http://whoneedslight.com/index.php/forum/2-welcome-mat/117745-for-gamecocks-clowney-its-all-about-consistency3#117745&quot;&gt;For Gamecocks’ Clowney it’s all about consistency_3&lt;/a&gt;, R (Vice chair of Senate Health Care Committee)   Former Cornelius mayor pushed through his top priority: a bill to fix Mecklenburg County s flawed 2011 revaluation. Also quietly started a dialogue with leaders of the Moral Monday protests.   &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/html&amp;gt;
