Abstract:

If Governor Pat McCrory wins the upcoming election, it would leave the Republicans in total command of the three branches of state government. The only way the Democrats will get a say is by knocking out McCrory while also winning enough legislative seats to uphold gubernatorial vetoes by his Democratic replacement, either Attorney General Roy Cooper or Durham attorney Ken Spaulding.

However, the venue faces possible closure as the owners struggle with tax debt.
