Ted Wheeler as Treasurer

By: SARAH JANE ROTHENFLUCH | Tuesday: March 9th 2010

This morning Governor Ted Kulongoski named Multnomah County Chair Ted Wheeler as the next treasurer for the state. He will hold the position until at least January 2011. If anyone else wants to get their name in the hat for the upcoming election they'll have to do so by 5 pm today. (At this time Democrat Rick Metsger of Welches and Republican state Sen. Chris Telfer of Bend are planning to run). What's your reaction to this news? What might this mean for Multnomah County? What do you hope Ted Wheeler brings to his new position at the state?

Regardless of who the Governor selects that person needs to spearhead a true Oregon money issue and that is the problem of fraud, waste and abuse taking place in Oregon state agencies. I believe if this issue was investigated and there were some whistleblower protection that it would soon be learned that Oregon COULD get closer to a balanced budget just by stopping the truly shocking waste going on. Please ask whomever is stepping into the role of purse string manager that they need to spearhead an investigation into deeper issues of misuse of taxpayer dollars.
