RGA targets Perdue on jobs


RGA closedThe Republican Governors Association is targeting Beverly Perdue on jobs.

In a mailer sent to North Carolina voters, the national group argues that the Democratic gubernatorial candidate's "failed policies are killing jobs in North Carolina."

Inside, it argues that Perdue has failed to lower taxes, reduce pork barrel spending or crack down on illegal immigration.

It also repeats a claim that a 2001 bill made it easier for illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses.

As noted previously, that bill actually made it slightly harder.

The back page of the mailer argues that Republican Pat McCrory "successfully recruited dozens of new companies" and brought the NASCAR Hall of Fame to North Carolina, while the number of homicides in Charlotte decreased.

Re: RGA targets Perdue on jobs

McCrory himself recruited new companies? Yes, that's right: just like he recently "recruited" Wells Fargo!! HA!! What a joke; does he have an ego or what? Please refer to CLT Observer article in which the City Council members state that he is a non-factor in any of CLT's successes or failures. I'm sure Harvey Gantt was just being kind in his referral to McCrory, but let's face it; that is far, far, far from the endorsement Gantt gave Perdue.
