Gov. Pat McCrory was in Cornelius Friday to sign a bill requiring a do-over of Mecklenburg County’s problematic 2011 property valuation. As he arrived at Town Hall, he met a protest from Democrats and progressives who aren’t happy about the state of affairs in Raleigh. And he shook hands with local officials who helped win passage of the revaluation bill. Andrew Wilkins was there to capture the scene.
