RALEIGH —
Political fights sometimes erupt on the front pages of newspapers, but this week’s scuffle moved back to the ads.The State Employees Association of North Carolina purchased full-page advertisements Wednesday in three of the state’s largest newspapers criticizing State Treasurer Richard Moore.
“Where are our pension fund documents?” said the ad signed by all 12 members of SEANC’s executive committee and published in the Observer, the News & Observer of Raleigh, and the Asheville Citizen-Times.
SEANC represents 55,000 state workers, including 1,200 in Mecklenburg County. Its leadership in recent months has been confrontational toward Moore, who oversees the more than $70 billion state employees’ pension fund. Moore is also running for the Democratic nomination for governor against Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue.
