VOTE FOR
AMENDMENT NO. 2
on your March 23 ballot
MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES
AND MORE REVENUES
without tax increase!
This Constitutional Amendment will give
North Carolina the right to issue Industrial
Revenue Bonds. They are to finance facilities
for new industries and expansion of present
industries — also pollution control facilities.
Every other State already offers this kind of
financing. That is one big reason why we are
losing thousands of job opportunities to other
States.
We need these jobs and the additional rev- ,
enue. This is a sound method of financing. The
Amendment is favored by the State Treasurer
and both political parties.
Approval will not cost you a single penny in
extra taxes. Let's give our people a fair chance
for more and better jobs. Please join with me in
voting for AMENDMENT NO. 2 on March 23.
