How many members did a Republican mayors group have?
When he was elected president of Republican Mayors and Local Officials in 2000, Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory boasted that the advocacy group had 750 members.
But not all appear to have been active.
According to the group's Web site, annual membership dues were just $25. Tax forms filed with the Internal Revenue Service show $2,075 from dues in 2001, $1,525 in 2002 and nothing in 2005.
That would indicate 83 dues-paying members in 2001 and 61 in 2002.
It's worth noting that the dues were voluntary, though the amount is so small that it's hard to see why most wouldn't pay it.

Re: How big was GOP mayors group?
RTB,
You really need to get a life. 'Splain to me what the heck the collection of voluntary dues in 2001, 2002 and 2005 has to do with Mayor McCrory's statement (you used the word "boasted", did Mayor McCrory tell you that he was boasting or did you just add that as a editorial comment, since I am assuming that you were not there in person when that statement was made). His statement must have occurred in 2000 when he was elected to the post and I guess that he should have broken down the 750 number into who has paid recently, who has ever paid and who has never paid. Can you get anymore into the tank for Beverly Perdue?
