Goldschmidt Portrait Removed

The official portrait of former Oregon Governor Neil Goldschmidt will be removed from the State Capitol Building in Salem and placed in storage. Legislative leaderships issued a memo saying the portait is being removed out of respect for Goldschmidt's victim who recently died.  Goldschmidt admitted in 2004 to having sex with a 14 year old girl when he was 35 years old. The Oregon statute of limitations prohibited the Governor from being prosecuted for the crime but there is a proposal in the Oregon Legislature to remove the statue for sexual crimes against children.
