State rejects complaint against Coos Co. candidate

COOS BAY, Ore. (AP) — Oregon’s secretary of state has dismissed a complaint filed against a candidate for Coos County treasurer alleging she lied about her educational background.

The World reports (http://bit.ly/2ez1GvV ) that the secretary of state’s office found insufficient evidence to support the claim brought by Martin Brennan, of Coquille.

The candidate was required to provide proof of her educational qualification because of Brennan’s claim.

The state has closed its investigation.
