......"Roberts sought to have the dispute investigated by an outside party, former Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul de Muniz, while placing Iparraguirre, a former attorney for the state Department of Justice and the city of Portland, on leave, he said.

“I was trying to handle this the right way,” he said. “It seemed to me that he may have been abusing his position, especially given the male/female dynamic.”

But Brown’s office sought to have Iparraguirre immediately reinstated, Roberts claimed. Leonard, Brown’s chief of staff, then asked Roberts to resign Tuesday morning because of the dispute. When he refused, he was fired." (from the RG coverage of Roberts' firing)

This investigation helps clarify the circumstances of Jack Roberts' firing from his position as Director of the Oregon Lottery.  Mr. Roberts took a very reasonable course of action......placing Iparraguirre on leave and seeking an outside investigation...   How about an apology from Governor Brown......Gary Crum
