Acting liquor chief named after DUI arrest of former director

Well it sounds like Oregon is filled with a bunch of hypocrites, at least as far as alcohol and DUIs go. Here is a little article from msnbc.com that illustrates what I am saying:

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission appointed Steve Pharo to serve as acting director today following the resignation of the executive director, who was arrested for drunken driving.

Teresa Kaiser resigned her post Thursday. She has also been charged reckless driving.

Pharo currently is director of merchandising for the agency. He will serve as acting administrator until a permanent replacement is found for Kaiser.

Pharo pledged to bring a "steadying hand" to an agency that was embarrassed by the disclosure that its top official had been arrested for drunken driving.

Portland police arrested 56-year-old Kaiser last Saturday night. This, after officers responded to a two-car accident on the west end of the Sellwood Bridge.

A breath test placed Kaiser's blood alcohol level at twice the legal limit for driving in Oregon.
