Is it a good thing that Page defeated Berger?

the race was decided by 2 votes, so I don't expect it's over yet

Berger was moving with more and more disregard for the will of voters. The casino episode was a fiasco, scandalous, and ran askew of some religious folks. All the legislation and court battles where he attempted to steal appointments and other governor powers was pretty unpopular. Voters rightfully get frustrated when you refuse to negotiate a budget.

He deserves to lose. If he somehow pulls it out in a bizarro recount scenario, he deserves all the lost sleep. Probably everyone in the NCGA needs a wake up call that incumbency is no guarantee of future success.

Hopefully this preempts Just Dance Vance in Rocky Mount today.

I have read several local articles that mention the biggest single spend item was the city purchasing property for a casino complex. Not a single article has made the connection that this was bought as some kind of side deal/discussion of the Berger Casino fiasco. Why isn’t Berger, his aides, and the lobbyist with the casino holdings company not being dragged into this? What promises did Berger or the lobbyist make to convince a city council to overspend 25% of their budget on a hard to re-sale asset?

I don’t want to ignore Rocky Mount’s other spending, some of it seems pretty reckless, but the Casino fiasco has a lot of mileage left to give us. Local media just feels incapable or unwilling to get to the bottom of these types of stories in our state.
