Oregon’s First Lady was given an office, two staffers, security & access to private meetings - all without legislature approval. An ethics violation has been filed. #tinakotek #oregonlife #oregongovernor #orpol
@PDXReal1 Why couldn't Oregon mayor's do the same 'trick'?
@PDXReal1 We need her out NOW. And I don’t care if her cheating wife is in rehab.
@PDXReal1 Oregon Governor establishing Squatter rights, Rehab credit and Disability benefits and it’s just Thursday.
Nothing grinds my gears more than people using things like mental health as a crutch for their bad/questionable behavior. Sorry, but we're all dealing with our own things. Trying to shield yourself from responsibility by saying "but I"m dealing with mental health" is weak. Kotek should know better, after what happened with Kitzhaber. I wasn't a huge fan of hers, but I was starting to come around, due to things she was doing that seemed to be steps in the right direction. All this, with her wife, though, is shady and it would likely benefit her to back away from the idea now before she loses more staff and invites more scrutiny.
Oregon Governor in Nepotism Scandal If you take a deep dive into the history of political corruption, you'll discover several risk factors that are predictive of when a politician is most likely to be corrupt. One of those risk factors would be "the politician belongs to the dominant political trend." Controlling for other risk factors, a progressive governor in a progressive state such as Oregon is more likely to be corrupt than a conservative governor in the same state. This is because the progressive assumes she has the approval of voters for whatever she does. To put it colloquially, she thinks her shit don't stink.
@PDXReal1 I think we're headed for another Kitzhaber style embarrassment. Why can't Oregonians learn from their mistakes? Stop voting blue. They're corrupt to the core. 🤦♀️
@PDXReal1 This is near or at the top of improper actions by this terrible governor during her failed tenure.
@PDXReal1 Kotek will just make it okay for her but no one else. Oregon corruption at its finest.
@PDXReal1 This needs to stop…. What a waste of taxpayers money.
