The NY Times has seen fit to write an entire editorial about The Scooter.
Here is the gist, for those of you who are not just interested in $ and budgets... NY Times (Editorial Board) 2/6/15 Gov. Walker’s ‘Drafting Error’ Quote:

Well if the University can't turn out graduates who have the skills Koch Industries needs, we shouldn't be using public money to teach them. What good are public institutions if not to serve the ruling class?

Sure you do, the outcome affects us all because some are more beatable than others.

Well, I really do have a dog in the this next fight...
And let it be a warning to all who are in politics and live with their "fiance"...:rolleyes: John Kitzhaber controversy: Oregon attorney general launches criminal investigation The Oregonian - 1/20/15 Quote:

You would think that after the Virginia governor was found guilty for the same thing, all the other governors would perk right up and take notice and stop that shit. You can't even have the appearance of impropriety any more.

So he could/would/might not have known or been responsible for her failure to declare her $118k income. JK has been a good Governor, and he certainly seemed emotionally shaken during the earlier press conference when he (first ?) learned of her IRS issues. Also, this woman has already had revelations of 2 other questionable issues in her past. But you can be sure the Republicans will throw a fit if JK comes out OK, in part because JK has been a strong supporter of what came to be known as Obamacare. |
And don't count on the Virginia governor doing time. It sounds like he's got a fan in the appeals court.

Although last night JK told the Press that he was not going to resign, and the Press has not reported any specifics about possible "criminal activities, ... almost every elected Democrat in the Oregon Legislature is calling for Kitzhaber to resign. It has being reported that JK sent out an email telling State employees to delete his "personal" emails from the State servers, and that the employees have refused to do so. The Press is loving it, and saying: "It is only a matter of time" Today is a tempest, maybe in a tea pot or maybe over the entire State of Oregon. . |

Local news is reporting Governor Kitzhaber is resigning, effective Feb 18th.
Still nothing specific is being reported. Next, we play a reverse musical chairs of office holders moving - up(?) The (local) media is beginning a "self-evaluation" of how they reported these events. ETA: John Kitzhaber has served 2 separate terms, the first was 1995-2003 During that time, the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility for women was built, and opened in 2001 Wouldn't it be ironic if it turns out that he is the one who built the future home of his "fiance", Cylvia Hayes :rolleyes: |
I'm quite sad about all this.
I believe that my dog in this fight has turned out to be a bitch. This is the first article I've seen that puts it all in perspective, and I don't disagree with much of anything in it. But I have sniped out a lot of stuff that has been reported before about Kitzhaber, himself. For me now, it's another instance of: "He knew, or he should have known..." Oregon Gov.

I heard this on the radio, driving home yesterday. Sad for the (soon to be former) governor; but at the same time, he had to have known what his fiancee was up to. Unfortunate for Oregon.
