Jeff Kropf to head new organization

Jeff Kropf, the previous AFP Oregon director, is going to be running a new organization whose purpose is to investigate, document and expose wasteful or corrupt government spending in Oregon. The new organization will have a very hard edge to the messaging that will be run on radio and TV in an effort to build citizen awareness and outrage.

The new organization intends to also disseminate these reports through AFP OR and other grassroots organizations in Oregon, and will be providing more information as they develop their legal entity and website.
