Oregon

I'm pretty familiar with how state government works (or sometimes doesn't). I've seen agencies held hostage, kept from carrying out the laws by legislators who didn't like the laws previous legislators passed. The AG is tasked with the job of interpreting and enforcing the laws in sometimes controversial ways. Consider Kroger's decision to release all PERS retirees' incomes and work history to the public. As a PERS retiree, I didn't much like that one, worked to keep it from happening, but Kroger's decision was upheld by the court. For that reason alone, I wasn't sorry to see him go. Not sure how Rosenblum or Holton would have ruled, never got an answer to that, but whatever it was, my opinion was that Ellen is the better choice. My career spanned several gubernatorial administrations, and Barbara Roberts aside, I was always glad to see a Dem in office.

Not real clear why you think I was supporting Holton, but I definitely did not. Keeping my fingers crossed Ellen wins today. We'll know soon!
