Attorney general candidate makes campaign swing through Heppner -Continued from page one waste by ‘reinventing gov ernment.” ’ Kroger began vol unteering for the D em o cratic Party 20 years ago and has served as chair o f the Democratic Party o f Oregon Finance Committee and is a precinct committee person. As an AG candidate Kroger’s priorities include: -aggressively fight ing meth. “ Meth is the big gest cause of property crimes in the state. The number one reason I'm running—w e’ve got to do a better job. It (meth) impacts every part o f the state.” -holding “every pol luter responsible for the damage they cause to our health and environment.” -ensuring that every single parent in the state gets the child support to which they are entitled. “Tons of people don't get the money th e y ’re entitled too. I ’ve seen first-hand how hard it is for single parents. It's a major priority.” -protecting consum ers and retirees from scam artists and crooked compa nies. -d e fe n d in g c iv il rights, a woman's “right to choose" and the rights o f Or egon crime victims. Kroger says that as O regon AG, his job would be to enforce Oregon law, even if Oregon law could potentially con flict with changes in federal laws, such as abortion rights and “ death with dignity” laws. “Oregon’s Death with Dignity” could wind up in the courts. I love to go to court,” he said. Kroger says he has appeared in court ap proximately 1,000 times. As a federal prosecutor, he says he convicted “97 percent of the crim inals he charged, winning major cases against mafia killer Gregory Scarpa, Jr., drug kingpin Juan “The Puma” Rodgriquez and hun dreds o f other drug tra f fickers and corrupt govern ment officials.” lie helped prosecute “crooked Enron executives and served on the emergency response team to the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.” Kroger said, how ever, that if he was elected Oregon AG, he would not become involved with pros ecuting illegal immigration, since immigration is a fed eral, not a state issue. “The state can’t really do much,” Kroger said. “ It’s the fed eral governm ent’s job and they’re doing a really poor job. The federal government has all the power. As a single state, Oregon can't do much. The reality is, we need a national solution coming out of Washington.” As o f p ress tim e Tuesday, K roger had not yet filed for Oregon attorney general. He said that cur rent AG Hardy Myers, also a Democrat, has indicated that he will not run. Another Democrat has expressed in terest in running, however, Kroger says.
