A whistleblower reveals his identity

Former Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber resigned in February, hours after a newspaper reported that the governor's staff tried to delete a trove of official email from state servers. Nigel Jaquiss writes about what happened next to Michael Rodgers, the state employee who leaked the news: "Rodgers may be the latest casualty of the Kitzhaber scandal, an unprecedented chapter in Oregon political history that has altered much more than the lives of a four-term governor and his fiancee."
