Mysterious ad rips McCrory

A Washington-based group's action shows out-of-state interest in North Carolina voting this fall

RALEIGH (The News & Observer) -
A mysterious Democratic group launched a television campaign against Republican gubernatorial nominee Pat McCrory on Thursday, only a week after a similar GOP group drew sharp criticism for planning to help him.

Ads paid for by the Washington-based Alliance for North Carolina began airing statewide, criticizing McCrory for his positions on the minimum wage, pay raises for the Charlotte City Council and community college tuition.

The Alliance for North Carolina released no details about who its backers are, and IRS records reveal little. A spokesman from the Democratic Governors Association said it had given $500,000 to the alliance but did not say who its own donors are.
