John Kitzhaber, the Democrat governor of Oregon, is reportedly preparing his resignation over a graft scandal involving billionaire Democrat donor Tom Steyer. 
The nonprofit environmental group, Clean Energy Development Center, which is financed by Steyer had shoveled $118,000 to Kitzhaber’s fiancee Cylvia Hayes to advocate for policies supported by the group. She never disclosed the money despite advising the governor.
One-percenter Steyer was a major donor to one-percenter Tom Wolf in his successful run to be Pennsylvania’s governor last year.
And here’s a question to ponder: Why do people who care so much about nature need $118,000 to lobby for it? Maybe it’s not nature that they care about but nice gig that pretending to gets them.
Bob Guzzardi informed us at 7:21 p.m. that Kitzhaber’s resignation is official.
