Article about Charlotte leaves out a key leader
In a front-page article (July 26), you covered Greensboro community leaders’ trip to Charlotte.
The purpose of the trip was to determine how Charlotte “was able to build corporate towers, shiny metro trains, a wonderful football stadium and a tendency to mow down the past for an endless tomorrowland.” It went on to say that, “as a result Charlotte attracts more people, jobs and companies than many other cities in the nation.”
The article gave credit for the incredible accomplishments to its “government, business and nonprofit leaders.” But there was no mention of its mayor, Pat McCrory, the man running for governor of North Carolina who was elected and served as Charlotte’s mayor for seven consecutive terms.
No one man can do it all, but it was McCrory who set the pace, and he also can do it for North Carolina.

Gee I wonder why? Perhaps because McCrory has an "R" behind his name?

If McCrory would preemptively pardon me for murder as Congress has done for themselves and Bushistan ..I'd vote for him 3 or 4 times. Pass that on.
