Bill Graham supports the Google incentives.
During a recent interview with Dome, the Republican gubernatorial candidate said he approves of the incentives package, which is worth as much as $260 million in grants and tax breaks over 30 years.
"I think that decision has been proven right," he said. "They had furniture manufacturers going out of business left and right. You have to do something as a responsible public official if you want to maintain the economic base of your community."
However, Graham said he decides on incentives on a case-by-case basis, unlike former Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr, who opposes the state's incentives system.
"I think there are a time and place for incentives," he said. "I'm sure Bob would disagree with me on that."

Re: Graham on Google incentives
Oh no, Bill...I think you just lost me as a big supporter. Im shocked that you would agree with the most massive fleecing to date in NC.
Judge Orr, thank YOU for your stance!
Recently in Asheville, AdvantageWest, the 'quasi' governmental group that is run by corrupt WNC democrats held a dinner celebration at the Grove Park Inn celebrating the most massive fleecing in NC histoire, the Google debacle. AdvantageWest ought to be ASHAMED of themselves for supporting this kind of outrageous spending! Strive to be smarter than a democrat!
