Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Monday's episode of Crossing the Streams.Brett and Bo talk about the surprise early vote to fill the Charlotte City Council vacancy and the return of former at-large member Edwin Peacock. Initially expected later in the evening, the vote resulted in a 5-5 tie between Peacock and Krista Bakari, wife of former councilman Tariq Bakari. Mayor Vi Lyles broke the tie, appointing Peacock as a short-term caretaker through December. Bo notes Peacock’s calm demeanor, political pedigree, and past service, making him a familiar face in local politics. Krista Bakari, who did not attend the candidate session, is expected to run in the fall after showing strong support from council members. Brett and Bo also explore the broader implications for upcoming elections and Republican representation on council. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up Tuesday's on Good Morning BT!
