SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon Attorney General John Kroger has named Fred Granum as a special business advisor for the next 18 months.
Kroger said Granum will help his office develop a stronger and more diverse state economy that creates good-paying jobs.
Granum spent nearly two decades as a business attorney in Portland and sought the Republican nomination for Oregon Secretary of State in 2004.
Kroger said Granum will work directly with Oregon businesses, the governor’s office and the attorney general to develop proposals to reform the legal and regulatory system to improve the state’s business climate.
