Oregon 52nd District State Representative Mark Johnson says the on-going controversy swirling around Governor John Kitzhaber and fiancée Cylvia Hayes is becoming a major distraction in the Legislature.  Johnson, a Hood River Republican who has worked closely with the Democrat Governor on education issues, says without an effective chief executive to help manage and direct the legislative process it can become chaotic.  Johnson said on Mid-Columbia Today Thursday morning he doesn’t think Kitzhaber can still draw people to the middle in the manner he did to get the “Grand Bargain” for PERS reform passed in 2013.  The Oregonian called for Kitzhaber’s resignation in an editorial on Wednesday.  Johnson thinks the only thing that would spur a resignation would be findings that would clearly point to the Governor acting outside the law.
