Bob Orr says he does not oppose all incentives.
In e-mail to Dome, the Republican gubernatorial candidate says that his rival, Bill Graham, misunderstands his position on attracting business to North Carolina.
Orr writes that he does not oppose all incentives, just those targeted at a specific company, such as Google, Dell, Goodyear or Lowe's Motor Speedway.
"However, an incentive policy that benefits a broad range of businesses or preferably all businesses is potentially acceptable," he writes.
He also argues that there is "general acknowledgement" that targeted incentives are bad public policy.
"I would encourage Bill to oppose this system which has exploited our state and local communities rather than fall into the trap of saying that some are OK," he writes.
