First she admitted being part of a fraudulent green-card marriage -- now, a new report says Cylvia Hayes, fiancée of Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, partnered to buy land intended for an illegal marijuana growing operation in 1997.
KOIN-TV reported late Monday that Hayes partnered with a man to buy the $245,000 property in Washington state using a $15,000 down payment in November of that year. The man who sold the couple the land told the station that Hayes and her partner soon stopped making payments, and records showed that Hayes gave up her interest in the property in April 1998. She moved to Oregon three months later.
Hayes issued a statement saying that she was "not proud of that brief period of time" and claimed that "I was involved in an abusive relationship with a dangerous man." KION reports that the ex-boyfriend, whose name has not been released, has a history of domestic violence convictions.
Last week, Hayes admitted that she was paid to enter a fraudulent marriage to help an Ethiopian immigrant remain in the United States, also in 1997. She's also under fire for earning money from organizations seeking to influence state policy.
The man who sold Hayes and her then-boyfriend the land, a real estate broker named Patrick Siemion, told KOIN, "There was somewhat of a leader-follower [dynamic] there, and she was leading and the gentleman was following."
"She did all the talking, all the negotiating," Siemion told The Oregonian. "I remember her saying, `Oh this is just the perfect place, we're so happy to have it.'"
Hayes said she was never financially involved in the marijuana grow, and shortly after moving there "began to make plans to get away.

Unfortunately, in Oregon, this will probably HELP the democratic governor instead of hurt him.
Dems think money is evil, but it’s all they ever think about.
Liar Liar,, Pantaloons on fire..
Or-We-Gon’ na believe this sob story?
She’s just a poor victim.
First she was a poor student that needed the money so she married the Ethopian guy. Later she was in an abusive relationship.
Geezzzzzzzz.... she’s just a poor victim. She should go to jail for her crimes.
If this were you or I making these revelations, we'd already have seen handcuffs. Being one of the elite comes with definite perks.
Now there's a consultant-driven statement if I ever saw one. She's "not proud" -- check. It was a "brief period" -- check. And resulted from an "abusive relationship with a dangerous man" -- check.
Of course, she's lying about all of it -- she probably still thinks its cool that she was involved with growing pot. And the rest is all spin.
“Dems think money is evil, but it’s all they ever think about.”
They believe that money is evil if it is in our pockets, savings accts., and IRA’s. That is why they want all of it to give away to their voting buds.
Will she admit she voted for Obama?
I doubt she'll ever see the inside of a court room for her admitted immigration fraud. At least here in Illinois we have the decency to put our political crooks in jail.
Does this work for anything? How about “I’m not proud of that brief period in which I committed murder” or “I’m not proud of that brief period in which I committed tax fraud.” Can I use those to stay out of court?
We can safely assume she is a ‘yes’ vote to legalize dope.
> Hayes said she was never financially involved in the marijuana grow, and shortly after moving there “began to make plans to get away.
She’s an original “Gone Girl”.
Gosh, this whole story reminds me of Romeo And Juliet......if Juliet was a street walker and drug dealer.
Wow, this chick has led a REAL interesting life.
But frankly I don’t see how what she did years before he met her can be pinned on the Governor.
Right........Bwahahaha!
FMCDH(BITS)
It probably won’t, but she has admitted to numerous FELONIES on National TV, where are the handcuffs???
