Discussion notice
Notifying that there is a proposal that may interest editors on this article located at Talk:Cylvia Hayes. I'd appreciate any and all feedback there. -Kudzu1 (talk) 02:32, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

scandal and resignation
Please, Someone Knowledgable in the scandal, create a section "Scandal and Resignation". Buried and scattered in the text, is a small amount of information about "First Lady" Cylvia Hayes. There is no back-story about her in the article. The article says "exposed a previously unknown marriage between First Lady Cylvia Hayes and an Ethiopian immigrant in 1997. Hayes admitted to the union, which was dissolved in the early 2000s, and said it was an illegal green card marriage into which she entered for money during a difficult period in her life. Kitzhaber was reportedly unaware of the marriage..." What?!? The First Lady is defined as "the wife or hostess of the chief executive..." so the assumption most people will make is that they are married, but no that cannot be right, it must be the second part of the definition. The article makes this clear in the section that follows, eight sentences later. Wow. Those of us who do not live in Oregon are left in the dust by this. Really and truly, the resignation of any governor, requires a section of its own, detailing the scandal, how it appeared to residents of Oregon, how the news outlets reacted, how the other political entities reacted, and the out come. The scandal text needs to provide details that give context, explains why the people of Oregon were upset, and clarifies things for people living in Nigeria. Thanks.

 * While I agree a new section, and perhaps even a spinoff article, for the scandal is warranted, the pertinent backstory on Kitzhaber's personal life (including his relationship with Hayes) is covered, appropriately enough, in the Personal section. -Kudzu1 (talk) 17:38, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

John Kitzhaber resignation
An article on John Kitzhaber resignation seems warranted, following in the tradition of Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, Oregon land fraud scandal, Larry Craig scandal, Cunningham scandal, etc. 67.101.5.210 (talk) 03:20, 20 February 2015 (UTC) The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages.
