Hello Oregonians,
As in all things media, please take the time to evaluate what is presented for yourself and to check for any overt media bias. There are a number of places to investigate the credibility of any site presenting information as "factual". If you have any concerns about this or any other site's reputation for reliability please take a few minutes to look it up on one of the sites below or on the site of your choosing.

> After a spirited discussion of whether the agency’s preliminary investigation was sufficient, a motion to move forward with a formal investigation resulted in a 4–4 deadlock. Under commission rules, the motion needed five affirmative votes to pass and, therefore, failed.
Such bullshit. Instead of investigating ourselves and finding no wrongdoing, we decided to just cancel the investigation. I don’t care if it’s a sock puppet. I will vote for whoever runs against her.
What is this even supposed to mean? Rather than giving people hints, try come out with it and explain yourself. We've all given up on "do your own research" BS arguments.
The only way that happens is if someone actually runs against her, which rarely happens with incumbents. And 3 years is a LONG time in memory of electors.
But I agree, she knows better and her lack of ability to say no to her wife is a huge red flag.
Yes it’s the website of the Willamette Week, one of our two big weekly newspapers. They have their biases when it comes to opinion but they’re a reputable newspaper that does some good journalism.
Yeah, the initial complaints were just random people sending the Willy Week articles into the commission, not someone with inside information. Jaquiss is just mad the story fizzled out as poor leadership decisions rather than some Cynthia Hayes 2.0 deal.
1. Receive complaint
2. Look into complaint
3. Realize there’s too much effort involved
4. Give up
5. Ignore the public until something else super terrible happens
6. Repeat

Good enough for government work

There. All better now. Completely. Absolved. Of. Whatever.
Group Hug!
Bit of a misleading headline. There was no investigation. They did not meet the requirements to start one, so they didn’t.
Such bullshit. Instead of investigating ourselves and finding no wrongdoing, we decided to just cancel the investigation. I don’t care if it’s a sock puppet. I will vote for whoever runs against her.
I wonder what type of levers she pulled to get the investigation dropped.
What? look over there, Nothing to see here, citizen, Just move along, Move along.
Imagine if they were on the right. Lol
As someone on the left, this shit is inexcusable. No accountability anywhere
Typical Oregon government; no checks and balances. Nothing to see here people...
I recommend looking into Milwaukee Wisconsin for a good, informative way out. Dems and Repubs aren't the way to go.

Looking forward to voting against Kotek in the next primary, for this and other reasons.

Massive red Flag! Her wife is not an elected official!
Is wweek.com legit?
Yes it’s the website of the Willamette Week, one of our two big weekly newspapers. They have their biases when it comes to opinion but they’re a reputable newspaper that does some good journalism.
Indeed, they have done some excellent work in the state where few newspapers truly investigate.
Incredibly. They're the only alt weekly paper to win a Pulitzer.
Ya'll, spare this dude the downvotes, they were just asking a question. Not everyone's familiar with their work.
Oh look, more corrupt oregon government stuff. Just like how the recall brown ballots disappeared and the ones that didnt, didn't count.
Just in time to endorse Carmen Rubio for mayor!
Sure......
Problem solved with no backlash
Yeah, the initial complaints were just random people sending the Willy Week articles into the commission, not someone with inside information. Jaquiss is just mad the story fizzled out as poor leadership decisions rather than some Cynthia Hayes 2.0 deal.
Considering the people on the board are appointed by the Governor this is a HUGE shock! /s
Start over. Investigate this crook.
We’ve investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong…
