Even More Page-Berger aftershocks, fallout

Posted on by

For the Berger machine, Rockingham County keeps delivering the hits.  Not only did senator Phil Berger  – the capo di tutti – come up short at the end of Tuesday, but SO DID Berger’s henchman and close ally in the House, Rep. Reece Pyrtle:

Let’s not forget the primary for the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners primary.  That body is – for now – chaired by the senator’s son Kevin Berger.

Now, let’s look at what happened Tuesday:

That’s right.  The vice-chairman and one other commissioner — both Berger loyalists — were voted out and replaced with candidates favored by Sam Page loyalists.

If this holds, Kevin Berger will likely go from being chairman of the board to sitting on the *wrong* side of a 3-2 split.

Talk about a trickle-down effect.

The *survivors* in Raleigh ought to be studying this carefully and absorbing the lesson here.  But knowing that bunch — they won’t.
