Pat McCrory says the governor needs a good relationship with business.
In an interview on WPTF talk radio Wednesday morning, the Republican gubernatorial candidate said that he would meet with business leaders interested in North Carolina.
"In job recruitment, the governor has to get out of the mansion occasionally and go out and recruit throughout the nation and throughout the world," he said.
He also said he would meet with existing businesses, saying he never takes any company for granted as Charlotte's mayor.
Bob Orr, one of McCrory's primary rivals, said that response troubled him, arguing that the governor should focus on business-friendly policies to help existing companies grow. He also questioned McCrory's stance on incentives.
"Pat will need to let the voters know where he stands on targeted tax breaks for these large corporations," Orr said in a statement.

Re: Orr challenges McCrory on incentives
This is a desperate man that is in last place. He has gone on the attack and needs to go ahead and just drop out if he doesn't want a run-off.
