This R&D recaps the resignation of Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber. Kitzhaber announced his resignation last week after revelations that his long-time fiance, Cylvia Hayes, received sizable payments from environmental groups. Hayes was an unpaid “energy adviser” to Kitzhaber and Oregon’s attorney general has launched a corruption investigation into the matter. Kitzhaber was a relatively popular governor, having won re-election to a fourth term in 2014. His resignation is effective as of today.
