Subpoenas Arrive As Oregon Governor Announces Departure |
2015-02-15 |
[HOSTED.AP.ORG] Just hours after Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber announced his decision to resign, a subpoena arrived in a state office building confirming that federal agents are looking into the influence-peddling scandal that led to the abrupt end of a four-decade political career. The Democratic governor gave in to mounting pressure Friday, abandoning his office amid suspicions that his live-in fiancée used her relationship with him to land contracts for her green-energy consulting business. His resignation, which takes effect Wednesday, cleared the way for Secretary of State Kate Brown to assume Oregon's highest office and become the nation's first openly bisexual governor. And that's really, really, awfully important...? Squirrel!! |

#3 Subpeonies, isn't it a little early for flowers in Oregon, after all its only February. Spring doesn't arrive until March 20th. Well, maybe John Kitzhaber and his friends are special and they get sub-peonies early. After all they are Democrats. |
