Graham begins his run for governor's job in '08

DUNN (AP) - Returning to the hometown where he is still known by his middle name, Bill Graham announced yesterday his Republican bid for governor in 2008 and pledged to fight high taxes and to improve roads and schools.

Graham, a Salisbury attorney who raised his profile while fighting higher gasoline taxes and illegal immigration, said that North Carolina citizens want new leadership after a series of political scandals - including the corruption charges that toppled former Democratic House Speaker Jim Black.
