Secretary of State Dennis Rich- ardson, who challenged Kitzhaber in 2014, responded Friday that the U.S. Attorney’s decision “does not change the fact that the governor and Cylvia Hayes accepted money from those desiring to purchase influence.” “It is unfortunate that the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding influence peddling by former Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell and his wife has set the bar so high that it is now nearly impossible to bring federal charges in political corruption cases,” Rich- ardson wrote in a statement. “It is clear that Oregon and the nation still have a long way to go to restore trust in government.” Former Republican Gov. Robert McDonnell and his wife accepted more than $175,000 in gifts from a Virginia businessman with political interests. They were found guilty of federal corruption charges and sentenced to prison, but won their appeal to the Supreme Court, which found in September that prosecu- tors’ definition of “official act” was too broad. Oregon Department of Justice officials announced in mid-February that they had halted their investi- gation of the allegations because the federal investigation had taken longer than anticipated, and the statute of limitations was expiring. “Our understanding was that the federal investigation would be concluded in sufficient time to allow our office to review findings from the investigation and deter- mine whether state charges were warranted,” Michael Slauson, chief counsel for the Oregon Department of Justice, wrote in a letter to Billy Williams, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.

He said the commission would review available information and consider whether there are grounds for further action. Ronald Bersin, executive director of the Oregon Government Ethics Commission, was unavailable for comment Friday afternoon. Well-wishers posted Facebook messages on the former governor’s public page Friday. “Congratulations, John and Cylvia! The decision took far too long but happily this unfortunate chapter is finally closed. Best wishes for both of you in the future,” wrote Chris Dearth, a former Kitzhaber staffer. Both Hayes and Kitzhaber began to reemerge publicly over the past year. The former governor spoke mostly on health care topics — a post March 12 touted his invitations to speak at “health care summits” across the West Coast. He was also critical of efforts in Congress to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. Kitzhaber in a post on his Face- book page, thanks his supporters for standing by him through the ordeal. He said he would continue to “help Oregon deal with the challenges we face in a way that moves us beyond the current division and polarization and brings us back together as a community.” Hayes recently updated her website, which is focused on public speaking, writing, and a coaching business tailored toward “resil- iency.” A spokesman for Gov. Kate Brown, who succeeded Kitzhaber when he resigned in 2015, declined to comment Friday. OFFICE SPACE AVAILABLE Oregon refuge occupier seeks release from jail PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon refuge occupier Jason Patrick asked to be released from jail Friday until his November sentencing. Patrick, 45, and three other men were convicted in March for their roles in last year’s armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns. Patrick opted to go imme- diately to jail rather than wear an electronic ankle bracelet for GPS monitoring, a condi- tion for pre-sentence release. After three months behind bars, he had a change of heart and has agreed to wear the device while living with his mother in Washington state if he is released. U.S. District Judge Anna Brown did not make imme- diate ruling after a hearing in which she expressed skepticism that Patrick would comply with requirements. Brown said Patrick chooses the rules he wants to follow, and has a history of being disruptive, disre- spectful and tardy. “This is a man who does not respect the authority of United States courts, or the federal law generally,” she said. The judge sought clear and convincing evidence that Patrick would show up for future court appearance and not pose a danger to society. Defense attorney Andrew Kohlmetz noted Patrick did nothing violent when granted pretrial release last summer, and attended every court appearance. WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY?

Federal authorities said Friday that after a two year investigation, no criminal charges will be brought against Kitzhaber and Hayes. cold front 70s Yesterday’s National Extremes: (for the 48 contiguous states) High 113° in Needles, Calif. Low 27° in Gould, Colo. Copyright © 2017, EO Media Group SALEM — Former Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber or his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, will not face criminal charges following a two-year inves- tigation into allegations they used their positions for profit, federal officials announced Friday. A statement by the U.S. Attor- ney’s Office in Oregon indicated federal officials would not comment further on reasons for the decision. “Today, the U.S. attorney concluded the investigation that began shortly after I was elected to a fourth term as Oregon’s governor, coming to the same conclusion I started with over two years ago: there was nothing nothing to pursue,” Kitzhaber wrote on his Facebook page Friday. “As I have said from the beginning, I did not resign because I was guilty of any wrongdoing but rather because the media frenzy around these questions kept me from being the effective leader I wanted and needed to be.” Hayes did not immediately return messages seeking comment Friday. Kitzhaber and Hayes had been under investigation for more than two years after Willamette Week reported the First Lady may have used her position to win several consulting contracts. State law prohibits public officials such as the first lady from using their position or public resources for private benefit. Willamette Week reported that Hayes gave input on shaping poli- cies while accepting payments from private advocacy groups that wanted to influence those policies. She also used her title of first lady when she appeared as a paid consultant, the alt-weekly newspaper reported. The scandal eventually prompted 60s National Summary: Locally drenching storms will affect the East, while severe weather focuses on the central Plains to the Great Lakes today. As rain soaks the northern Plains, dangerous heat will build in the Southwest.
