Stop blaming the woman as if Kitzhaber was under a spell,.

It would have been more prudent to have the FBI investigate before his resignation. Amazing. As long as there is a woman that goes along with a political scandal a career is over.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber (click here) announced his resignation Friday over a deepening influence-peddling scandal surrounding his fiancĂ©e and on the same day the U.S. Attorney's Office issued a subpoena demanding records and electronic communications pertaining to the pair....

Does she own a broom? Calderon maybe? No. Just Al Gore and an effort to address the climate crisis.

...On Thursday, outrage over Hayes’ multiple scandals reached its conclusion. Her fiancĂ©, Gov. John Kitzhaber, resigned, putting an end to his more than three-decades-long career in Oregon politics, 20 years of which were spent in the governor’s office.

“I am in love,” Kitzhaber said when asked about Hayes’ alleged wrongdoings at a press conference on Jan. 30. “I have no regrets over my personal relationship with Cylvia Hayes. She is a wonderful lady.”...

...her National Governor’s Association profile, that she was “a policy advisor to Governor John Kitzhaber on the issues of clean energy and economic development.”
All of this was made more complicated by the fact that Hayes’ consulting firm was doing work for the state....

I am still looking for 'the big sin.' It would be a real scandal if she hadn't been involved in her consulting business before she became involved with the governor. She was involved in politics and climate work since the early 2000s.

...In October 2014, while Kitzhaber was in the midst of his reelection campaign, the Willamette Week uncovered a curious detail about Hayes’ third failed marriage, which took place in 1997, to an 18-year-old Ethiopian immigrant. “Public records raise questions about whether the marriage was legitimate or whether it was a way to help the young man with his immigration status.”
The marriage ended after 4 years and 3 months....

OMG, she was a cougar. When 18 seemed to young, the older man was more her taste.

...Worse, still: Governor Kitzhaber had no idea the green-card marriage had ever happened before it was reported by the press....

Poor man. He must have been attracted by her youth and the love was a lie. That is really radical.

The only thing the story misses is the chance there is a love child.

...“There was somewhat of a leader/follower there, and she was leading and the gentleman was following,” Patrick Siemion, who sold the property to Hayes and the man, told KOIN 6 News. Not long after the purchase, according to Siemion, Hayes and the man stopped making payments on the property, and by 1998 they “gave up their interest” in it, reported KOIN 6 News....

I've got to hand it to her; men went out on a limb to get her attention. Infatuation was her specialty. She needs a good girlfriend to tell her she should become "Permanent marriage curious." A friend who would challenger her to make it to the tenth anniversary. She had no problem making a commitment, only her commitment was short lived.

I like her. Teach me what you know, darlin'.
