Asheville to see barrage of same-sex marriage TV ads soon

Posted on — Jake Frankel

Here’s an excerpt from the Asheville Citizen-Times article:

Television viewers in North Carolina will soon get a barrage of advertisements for and against a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

That’s different than in many of the 29 other states where bans have been debated and eventually approved.

“In the past, those against amendments have usually been underfunded, undermanned and often without money to run ads,” said Roger Hartley, a political scientist at Western Carolina University who has followed the debate.
