 | | On his way to an unprecedented, fifth consecutive term in office, Mayor Pat McCrory outran a trail of escalating transit concerns and costs, dodged an angry contingent of arena critics and skirted doubts about his commitment to fulfill his full term. |
 | | Her campaign slogan, in fact, was “Rebuilding Trust,” which was echoed by persistent jabs at McCrory for turning his back on the public that resoundingly defeated an arena referendum two years ago. |
