Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber resigned today following allegations that his fiancée improperly used her position of influence to gain more than $200,000 in consulting fees. Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown will replace Kitzhaber and become the first openly LGBT governor in U.S. history.

Last night, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber performed CPR on a woman dying from an apparent heroin overdose, likely saving the woman's life.

Calling the death penalty "as practiced... unfair and unjust," Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber announced today that he won't allow any executions his term in office, and will soon ask the legislature to consider reforms—if not abolishment.
