Democratic Candidate for N.C. Governor Shares Perdue’s Foot-in-Mouth Disease
The Democrat candidate for governor of North Carolina ignores the facts again.
The following op-ed by Patrick Gleason, ATR's director of state affairs, was originally published by Nartional Review:
As we hit the home stretch in the North Carolina governor’s race — one of the most hotly contested gubernatorial races in the country this year — Democratic nominee Walter Dalton is going into desperation mode and getting sloppy with his remarks in the process.
Earlier this week Americans for Tax Reform noted how Dalton unintentionally complimented his opponent, former Charlotte mayor Pat McCrory, by comparing him to Wisconsin governor Scott Walker.

Though I’m a native North Carolinian, allow me to volunteer a defense of Tennessee’s tax code, starting with the facts.
