Ah the perks of incumbency.  It is interesting to note that it’s not a state employee who’s trying to line up these taxpayer buys, but rather one of McGraw’s political operatives.   Too cute by half.  From the Dan Greear campaign:

Attorney General Candidate Dan Greear has demanded Darrell McGraw explain his planned use of taxpayer dollars to fund radio ads promoting a series of town hall meetings across the state dealing with gas price issues.

Greear asked the press corps to do their due diligence and follow-up with questions to the AG himself.

“We can’t find Darrell McGraw, or we’d ask him ourselves,” Greear said.  “The Attorney General’s Office, through political consultant Amy Shuler Goodwin, has been attempting to purchase ads promoting a series of town hall meetings throughout the state on gas prices.”
