Pat McCrory ® is running for Governor of North Carolina. He was Mayor of Charlotte. A selling point of his campaign is that Charlotte is an "economic powerhouse."
Is Charlotte really an "economic powerhouse?" The answer seems to be, it depends on who you ask. The 1% seem to think so; the 99% are unconvinced.
What actions -- or inactions -- did McCrrory take as Mayor of Charlotte to make that city an "economic powerhouse?" McCrory supported light rail in Charlotte -- with state funds and federal funds and a sales tax increase, by the way (not to be confused with that hotel tax increase used to pay for the NASCAR "Hall Of Fame.") Did light rail in Charlotte make that city an "economic powerhouse?" Don't know.
And do those actions -- or inactions -- translate to state government? Will McCrory support light rail in other North Carolina cities? Don't know.
How do we know that McCrory will not become another loud-mouth Republican who will declare war on "them" -- whoever the "them" is at the moment -- to distract from his own failed policies? Um, we don't. But McCrory did vote for Amendment One to our state Constitution, denying equal rights to all citizens of North Carolina.
Most importantly -- and fundamentally, how will McCrory secure my inalienable right to Life as defined in our state Constitution?
