TINA KOTEK: Abuse of Power? [UnCommon Raw Thoughts]

UnCommon Sense 42020

A fellow former Democrat lawmaker has accused the former House Speaker, Tina Kotek, of abusing her power as she “threatened to kill legislation, demote lawmakers and end one former legislator’s political career as she sought support for a high-stakes bill has been under investigation for more than 16 months OPB further reports, “…the document does show that Hernandez has been consistent in his account. He texted other lawmakers about being bullied by Kotek immediately after he says the threats occurred in May 2019…An outside attorney — paid more than $350 an hour — has yet to release findings nearly 500 days after Hernandez filed the complaint. The report is obviously being delayed and poses a massive threat to the Tina Kotek campaign for Governor. This abuse of power is exactly what another Oregon Democrat Lawmaker has said this year when State Representative Marty Wilde stated; “I could not continue to participate in a caucus that had stopped acting democratically. We had failed to set a positive example of transparency and engagement and stopped supporting laws that returned power to the people we represent. Instead, we let our partisan desire to maintain power override our duty to the people….Since I joined the caucus in 2019 as a freshman legislator, it has become less and less democratic. This abuse of power is similar to when then-Speaker Kotek violated her pledge to produce a bipartisan equal redistricting commission. Both Democrat and Republican lawmakers unsuccessfully sued against Kotek’s biased plan.
