John Kroger’s goal: to clean up Oregon
The Oregon May 20th primary colors should be important, especially for Democrats.
Not only is the presidential candidate of the Democratic decide, but the Oregon Attorney General should be elected as good, because there is no Republican Party member running for the position.
John Kroger is one of the candidates for State Attorney General, and aimed at what he sees as a heavy hand approach to some of the greatest Oregon “zones”. Kroger goes against the Oregon representatives Greg Macpherson. Who wins established replace Hardy Myers.
His two main concerns are methamphetamine abuse and environmental destruction. Meth epidemic must be a priority in Oregon, Kroger said, because it is the correlation between drug trafficking and crimes against the assets and paedophilia.
“The problem is methamphetamine at the head of the list of people across the state,” said Kroger.
Kroger said it sees to the fight against the drug problem as a way to solve many problems related to the nature a “cascade effect” - as methamphetamines disappear, the results, less crime, and free up more resources State and others dealing with issues.
To do this, he wants to beef and drug treatment programs, so that humans, the substance can be combined therefore demand reduction, he said.
“Every dollar in drug treatment, Kroger said:” You save nearly seven dollars from the United States in other parts of the state budget. They indeed lower costs in prison, you have lower costs in the health sector, you repressive lower cost. ”
The up-front funding, he said, is ultimately inexpensive and long term.
Kroger said it is very familiar with the campus network partly because his fiancee is the relationship between the dean of students Michele Toppe.
“Me and Michele Vikings fans are immense,” he said.
Kroger, currently a law professor Lewis & Clark College, it has increased the implementation is the key to a lot of problems borne by the State.
Formerly a federal prosecutor, tried to Kroger case against members of the mafia and Enron executives, among others. He is convinced that his experience as a prosecutor of the Confederation can ensure that the agencies successfully mesh to prevent preparations for entry into the country.
It also intends to combat damage to the environment in the country. To combat the problem, it would be two full-time positions for prosecutors environmental offences.
Kroger does not necessarily believe that the lack of adequate laws on environmental pollution and other harmful acts. The problem, he said, is a lack that implementation led to the current problems.
Kroger cited an October 3, Business Week article in 2007, that listed companies should Portland toxic as the third city in the United States as an example of poor implementation in the field of environmental crime.
