john hits baber announcing just hours ago we will resign from office effective next wednesday. kitzhaber didn't make this announcement on camera. in fact, he made no public appearances at all today. his office instead putting out a written statement as well as audiophile of the governor reading that statement aloud. >> i apologize to all of those people who gave of their faith, time energy and resources to elect me to a fourth term last year and who has supported me the last four decade. it is deeply troubling to realize a person can be charged, tried, convicted and sentenced by the media with no due process and no independent verification of the allegations involved. nonetheless i understand i have become a liability to the very institutions and policy toss which i have dedicated my career and indeed my entire adult life. >>> he goes on to say he is confident that he has not broken any laws or done anything dishonest. but reading from his statement here, the escalating media frenzy has clearly reached the point of no return. kitzhaber says he will step down officially next wed
