Ethics investigation of Kitzhaber, Hayes to move forward
triggered by pending state and
federal investigations.
The allegations concerned
use of the public office for
profit, conflict of interest and
inappropriate acceptance of
gifts.
Janet Hoffman, Kitzhaber’s
lawyer, wrote in a July 12 let-
ter to the commission that the
preliminary review report by
the commission staff “relies
almost entirely on news sto-
ries based on speculation and
cherry-picked excerpts from
a handful of former Governor
Kitzhaber’s personal emails.”
“Such speculation does not
amount to substantial objec-
tive basis for pursuing an (eth-
ics commission) investigation,
and this politically motivated
complaint attacking former
Governor Kitzhaber’s integrity
should be dismissed,” Hoff-
man added.
Kitzhaber and Hayes had
been under criminal inves-
tigation for more than two
years after Willamette Week
reported the first lady may
have used her position to
win several consulting con-
tracts. The scandal eventually
prompted Kitzhaber to resign
from office in February 2015.
The commission resumed
the ethics review late last
month after the U.S. Attorney’s
Office announced no criminal
charges would be filed against
the couple. The state Depart-
ment of Justice abandoned
its investigation of the couple
because its statute of limitation
had expired during the federal
probe.
Under commission rules,
ethics investigators must con-

SALEM — The Oregon
Ethics Commission will pur-
sue an official investigation of
former Gov. John Kitzhaber
and first lady Cylvia Hayes.
The commission vote, taken
in a meeting closed to the pub-
lic as provided by Oregon law,
was based on a preliminary
review report and recommen-
dation by ethics commission
investigator Marie Scheffers.
The investigator reported
“there appears to be a substan-
tial objective basis” to believe
that Kitzhaber and Hayes may
have violated state govern-
ment ethics law.
The vote to pursue an offi-
cial investigation was unan-
imous, 7-0, said Ron Bersin,
executive director of the ethics
commission.
The watchdog agency in
February 2015 had suspended
a preliminary review of three
complaints of alleged ethics
violations against the couple,

She benefited from receiving
consulting contracts as a result
of her public office, according
to the October 2014 complaint.
An Oregon Business Coun-
cil grant paid $35,000 to give
Hayes her own spokesperson
while Gov. Kitzhaber was pro-
moting the council’s interest in
the Oregon Business Plan, the
complaint states.
Lisa Hay, Hayes’ federal
public defender in the fed-
eral investigation, wrote in
an April 18 letter that Hayes
made a “good faith” effort to
work within the boundaries of
her role.
“Any errors in adhering
to state ethics rules or stat-
utes were the result of confu-
sion with the administration,
mistakes and the lack of clear
guidelines for an unmarried
partner and not due to criminal
intent to commit fraud.”
Kitzhaber and Hayes could
face fines of up to $5,000 per
violation or as little as a letter
of reprimand.
