As a PERS retiree (one of the agencies I worked for was Dept. of Energy), I highly resent Kroger's decision to release all our employment and income information to the public awhile back. Seems he thinks our right to privacy disappears once we go to work for a PERS employer. And he refused to comply with Mark Long's request for records, which pretty much torpedoed Long's career? I left ODOE long before the 2010 criminal investigation, so have no skin in that game, but I'm very disturbed by Kroger's decisions on that, the PERS retiree info being published, and I'm wondering what else he may have done that will come to light. Now he walks away, leaving the state to pay Long's six-figure legal fees, and he (Kroger) is going to "fix" Reed? The college where Steve Jobs learned calligraphy?? Needless to say, I'd never have voted for Kroger for anything, much less AG, and I'm hoping he'll immediately release his records as a public official. I am voting for Ellen Rosenblum--pretty sure she'll serve Oregonians much better than Kroger ever thought of.
