The Statesman Journal has more this afternoon on the investigation of John Minnis, former boss of the state’s Department for Safety Standards and Training:

On Tuesday, Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s office released a copy of a Nov. 23 letter from the governor’s chief of staff, Chip Terhune, placing John Minnis on leave.

The letter said Minnis was under investigation for allegations of inappropriate interactions between him and a subordinate staff member.

Minnis was asked by the governor to resign immediately the following day.

Matt Davis was news editor of the Mercury from 2009 to May 2010.

One reply on “Minnis: Alleged “Inappropriate Interactions””

  1. Let he who has not gotten a subordinate drunk, taken advantage of them while they were passed out, misappropriated state funds and groped their employees cast the first stone.
