Or, one is an appropriations chair while the other has close to zero influence on the budget process.

He and Dalton seem to have two very different philosophies when it comes to government spending.

Pittenger sought $1.9m in state spending

Former Sen. Robert Pittenger sought $1.9 million in state spending.

The Republican nominee for lieutenant governor cosponsored three bills seeking appropriations in the upcoming state budget before resigning his seat.

Pittenger sought $1.5 million for three pilot career and technical high schools, $385,000 for Kids Voting and $100,000 for a study of the effectiveness of the N.C. Department of Public Instruction.

Pittenger resigned from the Senate Tuesday to focus on his campaign.

His opponent, state Sen. Walter Dalton, serves an advisory role on the state budget. He is seeking more than $277 million in state spending.

Previously: Sen. Kay Hagan seeks $48 million in state spending.
