Any one wonder why? And BTW, the Governor continues to announce new corporate locations and expansions, even in his lame duck status. It will be interesting to see if Governor-elect Cooper promotes the continued economic expansion that has occurred here for the past four years or if he tries to appease the LGBT bullies and their allies on the left who support a boycott of NC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-43644862045954262572016-12-22T18:57:03.847-05:002016-12-22T18:57:03.847-05:00Of course you're an anonymous commenter.

It has everything to do with the Republicans' anti-gay bigotry.<br /><br />HB2 remains on the books, businesses and events (NCAA etc.) continue to boycott North Carolina, and the blame is now 100% on the Republicans.<br /><br />It always was, of course, except that the Republicans used to be able to point an accusing finger at Charlotte.<br />Now, they can't. They own this stinking mess, and the stench is all over them. Nice going, Republicans, you're even dumber than I thought -- and I did think you were pretty damned dumb.Carl Jr.noreply@blogger.com
