Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, one of three announced Democratic candidates for governor, jabbed Republican candidate Pat McCrory Thursday during a visit to a community college in McCrory’s backyard.

During a tour of Central Piedmont Community College’s Cato campus, Dalton criticized the Republican legislature for cutting education.

“I think candidate McCrory has embraced pretty much what they did,” Dalton said. “What they did can be very harmful to our economic recruitment today and harmful to our economy tomorrow.”

Democratic Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton suggested Tuesday that he wouldn't release his tax returns, even though his political party is asking Republican Pat McCrory to do so.

After the official launch of his gubernatorial campaign, Dalton said McCrory's situation is different. "There has been some question ... about whether he is a lobbyist or not," he said. "I don't know of any questions" about my record.

At the same time, Dalton left the door open to reassess the situation. "We'll look at that as it goes along," he said.
