SALEM — Former Morrow County Commissioner Jim Doherty and Oregon Senate District 29 candidate is under investigation for possible ethics violations.
The Oregon Government Ethics Commission on Jan. 5 voted 9-0 to open an investigation to determine if Doherty, while he was a Morrow County commissioner in late 2020, failed to declare conflicts of interest under Oregon Revised Statute 244.120 and if he engaged in a prohibited use of his office under ORS 244.040.
