RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Gov. Pat McCrory is going to hang out with some of his old friends who lead North Carolina’s largest towns and cities.

The former Charlotte mayor scheduled a meeting Tuesday at the Executive Mansion with members of the Metro Mayors Coalition to discuss municipal issues. He planned to hold a news conference outside the Mansion after the meeting.

McCrory was mayor from 1995 to 2009 and a founding member of the coalition. McCrory’s office said the mayors of the coalition’s nearly 30 towns and cities have been invited, including current Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx.
