SALEM (AP) SAIF Corp.
President Stan Long said
Wednesday he’s disgusted with
the state Ethics Commission's
just-ended investigation of him
And he ( ailed his chief ac
cuser state Sen Crutlan
Kerens of Eugene a "two-hit
politician" and a "political i ar
toon who goes around attac king
people."
"This is the most dismaying
set of events in my professional
life," Long told a group of re
porters he invited to his office
Long's comments came a da\
after the commission, under
pressure from Attorney General
Dave Frohnmayer, ended its in
quire into whether Long misled

lawmakers about SAIF's fin.in
dal health.
Long, who has denied the al
legation, said the Lillies Com
mission earlier ignored advice
from state lawyers that the in
vestigation was illegal. He said
the six-month investigation tar
nished his reputation and un
derse.ored the need to possibly
revamp the way the ethic s pan
el does business
"I think the Lillies Commis
sion wrongly sees their job as
being able to 'get someone,'
he said "I’m not the first one
who feels bruised and abused
by this process "
The SAIL chief also said he’s
not ruling out the possibility of
suing the Lillies Commission.
Frohnmayor, a close friend of
Long’s, appeared before the
commission Tuesday to warn
the panel that its case against
Long was legally insufficient
and could leave the commis
sion open to being sued.
The commission voted -1 to
take no further action on
Kerens’ allegation that Long
tried to make SAIF look like a
monev-loser to build pressure
on legislators to overhaul work
ers’ compensation laws last
year
Long, at his Wednesday
meeting with reporters, said the
complaint Kerens tiled against
him was politically motivated
because Kerens opposed the
new workers’ compensation
laws backed by SAIL
’I would prefer that the com
mission stay out of political de
hates," Long said. "What I ob
ject to is the government using
its investigative powers to re
spond to nonsense."
Long said Kerens and special
interests such as chiropractors
who oppose the new workers'
compensation laws raised bo
gus issues with the Lthics Com
mission to try to damage SAIF’s
credibility.
For his part, Kerens said ho
wouldn’t respond directly to
Long’s characterizing him as a
"two-bit politician" and a "po
litical cartoon.”
However, the Eugene Demo
crat said the Investigative pow
ers of the Lthics Commission
need to bo strengthened, not
curtailed us Long suggested.
Kerens also said that Long
had continued to misrepresent
SAIF's finances to legislators as
recently us this spring.
