You know, it's almost as if "Clean energy" is just a giant graft machine for the politically connected.

[Gaffer]

So. No mention of political persuasion anywhere in the excerpt....I’m assuming he’s a Democrat?

[Fido969]

but it should be clear by now to Kitzhaber that his credibility has evaporated to such a degree that he can no longer serve effectively as governor.

Ugh. Oh, really? It's this kind of hyperbole that completely discredits the writer.

There’s nothing worse for the country than old, soured hippies.

[goldstategop]

John Kitzhaber resigning?

Only if he’s caught in bed with Client 9.

[PROCON]

This is huge revelation, as the Oregonian newspaper is a big time liberal rag that always supports 'rat politicians.

I'll make some popcorn and see where this goes.

[Wuli]

Leave it to the biased media. If Oregon’s governor was a Republican, every mention of his name would be presented as: “Republican Gov. John Kitzhaber”, but since he’s a Democrat they refuse to make sure everyone knows it.

[thirst4truth]

You do know what he said is first up for his 4th term? New more restrictive gun laws!!

All of this was known during the campaign, the press would not report it, now its an issue? After he is elected for his 8th through 12th years of graft and corruption!

[Impy]

Why should he resign? Idiot voters knew about this an reelected him anyway.

All it would accomplish is elevating Sec of State Kate Brown (D/Marxist) to Governor and giving her an incumbent’s leg up in the next election, which will otherwise be an open seat.

**That intention, however, is no match for an ugly reality of his own making, whose sordid elements keep surfacing with dispiriting regularity, most recently this week thanks to the work of Nick Budnick and Laura Gunderson of The Oregonian/OregonLive. Two people involved in Kitzhaber’s 2010 campaign helped Hayes find paid work with groups interested in Oregon policy, Budnick and Gunderson reported. Both have landed in Kitzhaber’s administration.

I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed this last year, so please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.

Oh, piff.

What's a little corruption among fellow believers?

When the RATs doubled down on BJ they gave the green light to corruption.
