RALEIGH -- The News and Observer reports that when Advance Auto Parts was awarded a state incentives package worth more than $17.4 million last week, the McCrory administration touted the company's plan to "create 600 new jobs" in Raleigh as part of its investment.
What wasn't mentioned was that a good chunk of those 600 jobs could be workers who are already employed by General Parts International, which Advance Auto acquired for $2.04 billion earlier this year.
