| “Lt. Governor Dalton has a long record of voting to raise taxes on North Carolinians. While in the Senate, he raised taxes 23 times and he has promised to raise taxes on North Carolinians again if elected Governor.“Instead of raising billions of dollars in taxes on North Carolinians, we must reform our tax code to create an economic environment that will allow our job-creators to put people back to work.”
