Money Grab
December 13, 2012 - by
Pat McCrory ran against a “pay-to-play culture of corruption.” Now his inauguration day features what looks like a special-interest money grab.
His foundation fundraiser gives critics and the media an easy, negative story line for his administration.
His strategy is: Suck up as much money as you can in anonymous corporate gifts. Plow it into your political machine to keep yourself in power for eight years.
His critics will say: This is a hell of a way to “clean up Raleigh.”
Public Policy Polling says McCrory starts out with a 53-25 positive rating. But that’s not a long way above 50 percent. And it’s with a 33-35 rating among registered Democrats.
How long will this last?
