I dont know if it cost us the governorship, or if it was the toll road issue that did, but we did lose it. This move by the Charlotte Town Council just shows that it was all about politics all along. This deal has been on the table for months, and they wait until McCrory loses to do the deal. Really saddened that McCrory didn’t win because although he was a moderate in Charlotte and I didnt vote for him in the primaries 4 years back, he exceeded ALL my expectations for him. He road the conservative rail, although I’m sure a VERY conservative House/Senate helped that.
Roy will be the weakest governor in the US anyway. R’s have SUPERMajorities in both houses. He just gets to sit there and watch things become law without his signature!
Glad to hear that you have strong legislative majorities.
McCroy lost 30,000 votes in a republican dominated area of Iredell and northern mecklenburg county due to the toll road on I—77 north and south
