Kitzhaber’s resignation in February
2015.
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.

had initiated an investigation into
misconduct by Kitzhaber and
Hayes, but that investigation was
stayed during the state and federal
probes, said commission Chairman
Dan Golden.
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.

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.

Former Gov. Kitzhaber, Hayes will not be charged

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
