I was traveling yesterday so I missed it, but did I even have to wonder if the Winston-Salem City Council would unanimously approve incentives for the proposed Caterpillar plant?

Mayor Pro Tem Vivian Burke said “she hopes that Caterpillar would try to hire residents of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, should the company choose Winston-Salem for its plant.”

Gosh, I hope so.

In today’s lead editorial, the Winston-Salem Journal calls for CAT to hire local contractors when building the plant.

Gosh, I hope so.
