Oregon Governor Out under Cloud of Suspicion

I guess corruption and cronyism finally got to him.

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber resigned Friday, giving in to mounting pressure to abandon his office amid suspicions that his fiancee used her relationship with him to land contracts for her green-energy consulting business.
In a lengthy statement, the state's longest-serving chief executive insisted he broke no laws. He said the resignation would be effective Wednesday.

He won pretty handily so this is really quite a fall from grace.
