Complaint vs NC Senate leader centers on house sale and payments
A retired campaign reform leader filed an ethics complaint in Raleigh alleging that Senate leader Phil Berger benefited from a townhouse sale. The probe centers on 2016 purchase for 250000, sale for 330000, and 1500 monthly LLC payments labeled rent. Hall says reports mask profits, while Berger aides cite pre-approved transactions.
