Listen here for the exchange between White and Berger.
Embattled New Hanover County Commissioner Brian Berger is likely on his way out.
Chairman Woody White called for Berger’s resignation last month after a series of actions over the last several weeks by Berger that alarmed the Board – including the public accosting of Governor Pat McCrory during a ceremony at Cape Fear Community College.
The Board voted last night to censure Berger and to file an amotion. Just before the vote, Commissioner Thomas Wolfe castigated Berger for refusing to step down.
" I think the best you could do is resign. You’ve brought shame and dishonor upon this council. And I'm mad about it and I don't want to put up with it anymore."
Brian Berger interrupted, saying, "We're going to have to disagree on that, and..."
Thomas Wolfe fired back.
"Well, of course we are. You can't see where you've done anything wrong. You think you're a white knight on a shining horse. Well, I got news for you Mr. Berger. You're not. You're a disgrace. Do the community the right thing. Stand up like a man and resign."
