Gov. Pat McCrory says he won't ask North Carolina legislators to return to Raleigh to consider legislation left behind by this year's General Assembly session.
The Governor said he is leaving the door open should a big potential economic development deal require additional incentives. McCrory made the announcement Friday. He says it would be a waste of taxpayer money to call a special session when there's no agreement on key issues. Legislators, Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker and several groups had urged him to hold a special session to beef up incentives programs. Others wanted him to consider reviving film production and historic preservation tax credits expiring at the end of the year. The legislature completed its regular work session last month. Lawmakers aren't scheduled back until January.
