Jeff Kruse’s resignation. Kruse, R-Roseburg, will depart the Senate March 15 in the aftermath of an outside investigation, released last week, determining the senator had repeatedly touched women, including fellow lawmakers, without their consent or in ways that made them feel uncomfortable. The report found he continued even after being told to stop by human resources officials. Speaker of the House Tina Kotek, D-Portland, told reporters Monday that she and Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, will announce how they plan to move forward on the issue in the next week or so. The Kruse investigation is the first time that the policies got a “full workout,” and outside assessment of the Legislature’s process is still a distinct possibility, Kotek said. The state capitol is a unique workplace that not only houses employees of the legislative branch, but also elected officials, lobbyists and constituents under its roof. While interns are considered employees and are covered AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, file Sen. Jeff Kruse, R-Roseburg, makes remarks before a vote at the state Capitol, in Salem. by legislative personnel rules on harassment, lobbyists and members of the public are not. The presiding officers of the House and Senate have limited powers when it comes to disciplining members under the state’s constitution, Kotek said. Lawmakers are inde- pendently elected, and their chamber can vote to expel them, but only after a lengthy process including an outside investigation and convening of a special committee on conduct. “We have limited tools, short of expelling someone from a floor vote, to have a member leave, and I don’t think we’ll be able to fix that, to be very honest,” Kotek said. “That’s a constitutional issue ... but what are the things you can do up to that point?” In late October, Courtney, the senate president, had Kruse’s door removed and removed him from policy committees as punishment for continued unwanted touching of women and failure to stop 0s 10s rain The University of Minnesota is examining the effects of an educational program to support family members with a loved one in a care facility.

Board members pres- sured Ryan Bounds to step down after news of his past works, The Oregonian reported. Bounds submitted his resignation on Tuesday, four days after he sent committee members an email apologizing for his “misguided sentiments.” Attorney Andrew Schpak, the board’s presi- dent, has accepted Bounds’ resignation, he said. In his resignation letter, Bounds writes that he wished the board would judge him based on the work has done with them, instead of writing from decades ago. “The board dangerously undermines the proposition by insisting that I resign my chair because of regrettable words I used as a college student a quarter-century ago but have since repudi- ated,” he wrote. The progressive judicial advocacy group Alliance for Justice criticized Bounds’ writing pieces published in the Stanford Review, a Stanford University student newspaper, in a report shortly after the Trump administration nominated him to fill a judicial vacancy in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. His articles were racially hostile and belittled campus sexual assault victims, the advocacy group said. On Monday, Oregon U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley called the pieces inflammatory and alarming and said Bounds wasn’t fit to serve as judge. They were unaware of the writings before they recommended Bounds for the vacancy, they said in a joint statement. Wyden and Merkley plan to address their concerns over Bounds’ nomination to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

But Kotek said she thinks it’s possible to make everyone working in the building more comfortable reporting harass- ment. One idea to facilitate that: an anonymous tipline for complaints. Currently, reports go to legislative employee services or legislative counsel. As it stands, Kotek described the process as “clunky” and it can be hard on people who make complaints. “Given the political nature of this building, we have to ensure trust and confidenti- ality as best we can,” Kotek said, “and I think that was why this took as long as it did, because until the sena- tors came forward, I don’t think we all recognized how difficult it was out there.” Sens. Sara Gelser, D-Corvallis, and Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, D-Beaverton, made formal complaints about Kruse’s behavior last fall. The investigator, attorney Dian Rubanoff, made note of the fact that other women who told her they were harassed by Kruse only felt comfort- able coming forward after seeing Gelser do so publicly.
