pledged to push for when she

power over the state eth-

agencies’ handling of public

The legislative package
is intended to address some
of the ethics and public re-
cords issues that arose during
the third and fourth terms of
former Gov. John Kitzhaber.

ness. Kitzhaber has said he is
innocent of wrongdoing.
“Oregon’s
government
belongs to its people, and an
informed, engaged populace
is essential to democracy,”
Brown said in a statement.
“Another essential element
is trust, and rebuilding that
trust begins now. These re-
forms are designed to ensure

The Oregon Government
Ethics Commission was

via Hayes’ actions, although
both state investigations
were placed on hold until the
federal inquiry is complete.
Brown’s proposal would end
the current requirement in
state law that the commission
put its inquiry on hold during
any criminal investigation.
The bill would also require
some members of the ethics
commission to be appointed

other than the governor. Cur-
rently, the governor directly
appoints three members of the
ethics commission, and four

New secretary of state working to implement registration law
By PETER WONG
Capital Bureau
Danielle Peterson, Statesman-Journal/Associated Press
Jeanne P. Atkins speaks to the media after being sworn in
as Oregon Secretary of State during a ceremony Wednes-
day, at the state Capitol in Salem.
SALEM — Newly ap-
pointed Secretary of State
Jeanne Atkins said she is al-
ready preparing to put into
effect legislation linking vot-
er registration automatically
with driver records.
Atkins made the comments
Wednesday after taking the
oath from Gov. Kate Brown,
who appointed Atkins to suc-
ceed her for the less than two
years remaining in Brown’s
second term.
“We have some resource
issues to resolve with the Leg-
islature to make sure we have
everything we need to get it
done,” she said, in terms of
money for the statewide voter
registration system and Ore-
gon’s 36 counties.
Brown said she will sign
House Bill 2177, which was
her top priority as secretary
of state before she succeeded
John Kitzhaber as governor
upon Kitzhaber’s resignation
Feb. 18.
Atkins, 65, is a longtime
Democratic legislative and
senatorial staffer. Her most
recent position was state di-
rector for U.S. Sen. Jeff Merk-
ley, for whom she worked for
more than a decade when he
was Democratic leader and
then speaker of the Oregon
House.
She also was staff director
for the Oregon Senate Major-
LW\ 2I¿FH PRUH WKDQ WZR GH-
cades ago, and was a manager
in the Oregon Department of
Human Services.
“Now I have been given
the opportunity to protect and
strengthen some of our deep-
est values,” she said.
The secretary of state
oversees elections — which
are conducted by the counties
— audits, public records and
some small-business assis-
tance.

her husband, John, a former
staffer to U.S. Rep. Les Au-
Coin in the 1970s and 1980s.
They have been married 43
years and live in Portland.
Also watching were their
son, John, a third-year law
student in Texas, and Terry
Anne Paquette, Jeanne At-
kins’ sister, who is a teacher
in California.
Atkins made two unsuc-
cessful bids for the Oregon
House from Washington
County in 1992 and 1994. She
said she is not a candidate for
a full term of her own as sec-
retary of state in 2016.
“I had a very successful
retirement going,” she said
as people in the audience
laughed. “It’s been described
as an epic failed retirement by
some of my friends.”
