Oregon governor Retread never is "up to speed": he didn't know that Cover Oregon was going to fail (despite having been informed repeatedly during the prior year). Evidently taking his cue from Obama, he consistently claims to have been "out of the loop" on whatever failure he's queried about. And he continues this pattern of behavior even as he seeks reelection:
Following his debate with his GOP challenger Dennis Richardson, KOIN 6 News asked Kitzhaber how day care workers were allowed to smoke medical marijuana in the first place.
“I’m not aware of the issue, but I’m glad to research it and get back to you,” the governor said.
Reminded his office issued a statement about it, he said, “Again, I’m not up to speed on this.”
The governor then walked away before answering any more questions.
That's how this clown "works"; he walks off whenever he's asked a hard question. Yet the Portland metro area will elect him again. We deserve better, but as long as Portland keeps attracting low-info hipsters from the east coast and California, we'll never get anything else.
