Has anyone been following this? I haven't been too closesly, but it seems everything was going good until his Fiancee (nota bene: W.B.) started doing shady stuff or was basically shady to begin with.

This is the result of wifeying up career-oriented go-getting women. Dream killers. They will step over your legacy to build theirs.

Kitzhaber jumped in. Now in his 60s, he seemed more relaxed. He was in what seemed a happy relationship with a rising young Bend environmental consultant, Cylvia Hayes, who was intensely interested in his political and policy work.
"There's no reason for a 63-year-old guy to be putting himself through" another campaign like this "unless there is an opportunity to make some significant changes," he said in 2010.

Kitzhaber decided to run for another term in 2014 and appeared on an easy march to re-election against Republican Dennis Richardson, a state representative from Medford. But Willamette Week broke the first story questioning whether Hayes, now his fiancée, was using her influence in the governor's office to help her gain consulting contracts. Further revelations that she had lived on a planned marijuana farm and once married an Ethiopian immigrant for money so he could get a green card led to lurid headlines.

When he held a press conference on Jan. 30 to respond to the latest revelations -- that Hayes had received $118,000 over two years from a nonprofit that she appeared not to report on her taxes -- he was unable to answer many of the questions of reporters and looked more evasive than calmly reassuring.
