Governor Kitzhaber Reacts to Controversies Over His Fiancee

The Governor waas asked about whether he would continue to use his fiancee as his energy advisor -- in light of this weeks' Willamette Week article saying she is using her position as First Lady to benefit her consulting business.

 

This follows revelations that  Hayes had a secret marriage the Governor didn't know about 17 years ago, so that an Ethiopian immigrant could stay in the country.

 

"We have some work we have to do to build our relationship.  But we'll make that decision together and we'll base it on her ability and experience in clean energy, fighting for bio diversity and her deep and abiding passion on leading people from poverty to find a pathway to posterity."

 

Dennis Richardson is calling for a special prosecutor to be called in to investigate whether Cylvia Hayes misused her position as First Lady.
