That blows. It was a nice deduction. Oh well at least we get it for 2013 before it disappears...
He was top of his class in toe-stepping.
The younger Berger has embraced his father's politics, telling reporters later he couldn't think of political differences with his father.
He praised his father and other Republican legislators for passing voter identification and tax overhaul laws panned by Democrats.
"What we really need to do is, we need to shake things up and take that sort of attitude to Washington," Berger told a sparse crowd in Graham, compared to more than 100 who attended the first event. He added: "One thing I learned from dad is North Carolina conservatives keep their promises. And Washington, you're about to get a brand new North Carolina conservative."
Beyond health care, Berger didn't mention other policy details in his stump speech, deflecting questions later on another potential government shutdown in mid-January. But he accused Obama of ignoring the Constitution and trampling on the rights of citizens. He did not elaborate.
God damn, can you people just let it fucking go

McCrory administration and public records
http://www.journalnow.com/news/state_region/article_4ddc8ec4-570a-11e3-9a12-001a4bcf6878.html
At a legislative oversight hearing last month, DHHS Secretary Aldona Wos suggested complying with the public records law is burdensome.
"It is very time-consuming for us and is pulling us away from the work we should be doing, whether it's Medicaid reform, whether it's now the federal shutdown, whether it's sequestration," Wos said.

He disputed the idea that he has moved to the right, but says he can’t blame the public for thinking he has, given what appears in the media. He said the media uses a “new technique” in which they accuse him of something by asking a question, such as, “Does McCrory have a conflict of interest?” “I have to prove a negative. I’m seeing more and more of that in journalism now.”
There’s much more he sees, but you get the idea. Most of McCrory’s troubles stem, in his mind, not from his support of policies that a majority of North Carolinians disagree with but from a media that, through bias or incompetency, just can’t understand his greatness.
The times I have met Rucho (~10 years ago), he seemed like a pretty sharp guy. Certainly far to the right of me, but smart nonetheless. He's really taken a swan dive into the abyss in the past couple of years.
