Steve Duin: The truth about power in Oregon

http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/steve_duin/index.ssf/2013/08/steve_duin_the_truth_about_pow.html

"When then-Gov. Ted Kulongoski asked Kroger to investigate the arrangement, Long declined to be interviewed. Two other Energy employees, however, told Sean Riddell, the deputy AG leading the investigation, that Long called attention to Hayes' relationship with Kitzhaber, who was poised to run for governor, and ordered one of them to "fix it."
No one should be surprised that Long is sensitive to issues of power and influence.
He is the son of Stan Long, a long-time friend and associate of former AG Dave Frohnmayer, and a founding partner of the law firm Harrang Long Gary Rudnick.  
Harrang Long is rather well-connected, especially when it comes to Oregon's Department of Justice.
Not only is Frohnmayer in the fold, but the firm's roster includes two former Solicitor Generals, Bill Gary and Jim Mountain, and Pete Shepherd, DOJ's second-in-command from 2001-2009.
They know how Justice works. Or how it long has.
Gary is equipped with the tenacity that would give a pitbull pause. He is the rare litigator who has represented both Oregon Health Sciences University and Philip Morris, the tobacco company that has long provided OHSU with so many customers."
