I hate to say "I told you so," but...

ORIGINAL POST, 3:54 pm, Jan 28

...



Over Christmas, I blogged over on Blue Oregon about Dan Doyle. Doyle was named to chair the Joint Ways & Means committee of the Oregon Legislature. Last week, Doyle lost that post - something that was noted as part of an open discussion at BO. Today, word comes to us from the Statesman Journal that the trouble is far deeper for Representative Doyle, and Blue Oregon again has coverage, this time from Jeff Allworth.



You can follow the links in the various BO pieces out to the front line reporting.



Why do Republicans of this caliber get elected? How does the party somehow NOT get tarnished, despite patterns of conduct?

UPDATE, Jan 31



Swing back over to Blue Oregon for the growing Dan Doyle saga. Representative Doyle has resigned. Apparently, he isn't even the only one in his family (let alone his party) with ethics issues related to campaign monies.

This came on the heels of yet more bad news for the Doyle family, as reports out today finger Doyle's wife Victoria for similar kinds of false finance reporting on her own failed bid to become Marion County clerk.
