<h1>John Kitzhaber Announces Resignation</h1>
Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber reported Friday Kitzhaber Announces Resignation including him and his life partner - even as he stayed resistant, lashing out at the media and previous associates.
“I am announcing today that I will resign as governor of the state of Oregon,” Kitzhaber said in a written statement.
He added: "But even more troubling -- and on a very personal level as someone who has given 35 years of public service to Oregon -- is that so many of my former allies in common cause have been willing to simply accept this judgment at its face value. It is something that is hard for me to comprehend -- something we might expect in Washington, D.C. but surely not in Oregon.”
“It is not in my nature to walk away from a job I have undertaken — it is to stand and fight for the cause,” he wrote in his lengthy statement Friday. Kitzhaber maintained he has broken no laws but understands he has “become a liability to the very institutions and policies to which I have dedicated my career and, indeed, my entire adult life.”
