Pat McCrory called for Congress to pass President Bush's economic plan in 2003.

According to a press release issued by Republican Mayors and Local Officials on May 8 of that year, McCrory said Bush's jobs and economic growth plan would have a "healthy effect on local economies and tax revenues."

"What the President's tax cuts will do is enable entrepreneurs and local people to make the best decisions about creating jobs and making needed investments. Small businesses are the engine of economic growth for our cities and towns, and they need help. The President's plan provides that, with $2,042 in tax relief for the average small business owner just this year."

The press release is available on PR Newswire, a wire service for public relations groups.

A new ad from Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beverly Perdue says "McCrory backs Bush's economic plan all the way."
