Ethics commission to pursue Kitzhaber for 10 violations
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
SALEM — The Oregon
Ethics Commission has
found that former Gov. John
Kitzhaber violated state
ethics law 10 times.
The commission unani-
mously voted to pursue 10
out of 11 alleged violations
by the former governor who
resigned in February 2015
amid an influence-peddling
scandal.
“In 26 years of elected
office, he had all kinds of
experience in facing these
issues,” said Commissioner
Charles Starr. “It’s just unfor-
tunate that he has come to
this. I am convinced he is an
honorable man, and he didn’t
purpose to do this, but the
outcome was quite obvious.”
Before the vote, Kitzhaber
addressed the commission
and apologized to his family,
friends, former employees
and the people of Oregon
for his missteps, but he
vigorously denied that he
ever intentionally used his
office to profit himself or first
lady Cylvia Hayes’s environ-
mental consulting business.
“I have withstood the
scrutiny of eight elections and
26 years in public office and
this is the first time that my
integrity has ever been ques-
tioned,” Kitzhaber said. “To
arrive at the conclusion that
somehow, at the end of my
long career in public service
Pamplin Media Group
Former Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber. On Friday the Or-
egon Government Ethics Commission found Kitzhaber
violated state ethics law 10 times.
I would suddenly stumble
on a streak of corruption, is
simply untrue and there is no
evidence to support it. I have
certainly made my share of
mistakes, but using my office
for the purpose of obtaining
financial gain or avoiding
financial detriment is not one
of them.”
The “preliminary find-
ings” of violation were based
on a report by state ethics
investigators released earlier
this week and prompted
a period during which
Kitzhaber may appeal the
findings to an administrative
law judge.
He faces up to $50,000 in
fines for the violations. The
commission won’t issue fines
until an appeals process is
completed and they vote on
Accepting New Patients
a “final order” of violations.
Until that point, negotiations
for a settlement agreement
can continue.
The commission Friday
dismissed one proposed
violation of misuse of office
related to using a staffer to pet
sit for the First Couple when
they left for personal trips.
Kitzhaber said he had known
the staffer for 15 years and
that she had volunteered to
care for the pets without pay.
Kitzhaber violated law
prohibiting use of his office
for personal financial gain
when he took actions that
benefited his fiancée, Hayes’s
environmental
consulting
firm, 3E Strategies, investi-
gators wrote in the 135-page
report released Wednesday.
The former governor
included Hayes’s income
from the firm in his house-
hold income in 2011-13
on statements of economic
interest, investigators said.
He also failed to publicly
disclose
his
potential
conflicts of interest and
actual conflicts in several
instances, as required by
state law, they said.
Kitzhaber was “person-
ally responsible to ensure
that he did not engage in
any policy decisions, discus-
sions, speeches, meetings,
directives to staff or official
actions that would further the
financial interest of 3E Strat-
egies,” investigators wrote.
However,
Kitzhaber
attended meetings for which
Hayes was either being paid
or was seeking contracts
with environmental advo-
cacy groups and promoted
and advanced her business,
they wrote. For instance,
he gave a speech in May
2013 at a planning retreat
at the governor’s residence,

Mahonia Hall, to discuss
transitioning Oregon to a
different economic measure-
ment formula that factors in
environmental health. Hayes
was being paid by public
policy organization Demos
for facilitating the meeting.
Kitzhaber asked that
Hayes be included in
correspondence, meetings
and policymaking on envi-
ronmental matters for which
she was seeking funding and
being paid.
For example, he gave her
access to the closed-door
Pacific Coast Collaborative
Leaders Forum in Vancouver,
British Columbia, in March
2012, while she was being
paid a $118,000 fellowship
with the Clean Economy
Development Center.
“I believe Gov. Kitzhaber
was not thinking, ‘Hmm,
how can I get money?’
… I don’t think he was
thinking, ‘Hmm, how can I
get Cylvia Hayes money,’”
said Commissioner Richard
Burke.
But under state law, it’s
irrelevant whether the viola-
tions took place on purpose
or by accident, Burke said.
Kitzhaber and Hayes also
used staff resources to book
personal travel and help
Hayes with her business
activities, according to the
report. Finally, Kitzhaber
violated a state prohibition
on public officials accepting
gifts worth $50 or more
apiece when he accepted
Premier Platinum status from
United Airlines, which was
valued at more than $4,000,
the report showed.
