Allran offended by Barnes ad

A television ad by Republican challenger Kitty Barnes offended longtime N.C. Sen. Austin Allran. Allran called the ad “extremely misleading and extremely hypocritical.”
The ad mentions more than 40 tax increases Allran supported during the past three years despite signing a pledge to oppose any and all taxes. Barnes admits to supporting the hotel occupancy tax increases Allran favored along with recent sales tax and property tax increases.
But Barnes points out she didn’t sign the pledge. Allran did.
