Bruce Goldberg, the respected, long-time director of the Oregon Health Authority, offered to resign on March 18. Two days later, with the Cover Oregon tech mess going from bad to worse, Gov. John Kitzhaber announced that he'd shown Goldberg the door.
The resignation was "effective immediately," said officials in the governor's office.
Or so we thought.
It turns out, Goldberg never really left and is now drawing a full-time salary from the state. Oregon officials confirm Goldberg returned to full-time status at the Oregon Health Authority on May 15 and will use his accrued vacation pay until July 18.
He's getting paid $14,425 a month.

"The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management skills of celery. They're the kind of people who'd stop to help you change a flat, but would somehow manage to set your car on fire. I would be reluctant to entrust them with a Cuisinart, let alone the economy." - Dave Barry
I can only wonder what kind of retirement this guy's going to make? If it was private industry, he'd have been summarily fired and had to take a half salary just to find work being branded as a managerial failure. The Government is the only institution where a person can screw up that bad with little to no consequences. At least this is at the state level and can be dealt with in the State's ballot box.
