Well, NO, Phil Berger is one of the WORST legislative leaders North Carolina has ever had, a corrupt pay-for-play political boss who constantly sold out to the special interests for campaign payola. He was a one man Tammany Hall. Getting rid of him was one of the finest outcomes in the recent primaries.

Berger did not start out that way. In the early years of the McCrory administration, Berger actually blocked some of McCrory's more liberal maneuvers. Then came the bathroom privacy bill, HB 2, which Berger initially supported and helped pass. Then when the special interests started whining about it, Berger flipped over to the dark side and led the effort to repeal it so biological men can now go into womens' restrooms. After that he stayed on the dark side for the campaign payola the special interests would shower on him. Berger became the driving force behind a whole host of liberal policies; the NC Green New Deal, the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, casinos, stopping key gun rights legislation, banning the NC shrimping industry, etc.. Who even needed Democrats when the special interests had Phil Berger doing their liberal dirty work for them.

Berger was a power bully, a pay-for-play functionary of the special interests, and a disgrace to the Republican Party.

If they try to bring the casinos up in the short session, Keith Kidwell will still be there to help lead the fight against them as he did before. That will flip in the next legislative session because the casino lobby is one of the special interests which bought our 79th district seat for Darren Armstrong with $800,000 of special interest money. Armstrong owes them BIG TIME, The casino PACs were not the postcard boys. That was a different special interest. They were the TV advertising boys who put up all of those dishonest ads that grossly mispresented Kidwell's record on taxes. If the casino bill gets traction after December, local churches will need to work overtime to try to stop Armstrong from siding with those who bought his seat for him with their lying TV ads..
