More news on DPG

I had already expressed my concerns over Mike Berlon's bid for DPG chair, and apparently I'm not alone.

Both Georgia Unfiltered Politics, Peach Pundit are picking up on this posting from The Political Vineyard regarding the meetings, or lack thereof, for Gwinnett County Democrats.

Berlon currently is the chair of the Gwinnett County Democratic Party. Sources claim he's delayed state-mandated meetings while he works on his campaign for state chair, while others note the Gwinnett County party hasn't met for months.

Some folks I've talked to also say that of those close-to-80 backers Berlon has listed on his site, a substantial portion have withdrawn their support and begun to look elsewhere ... most notably Athens's Jane Kidd.

UPDATE: Steve over in the comments at Georgia Unfiltered Politics says Berlon abstained from any votes pertaining to county party elections.
