Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission Executive Director Steve MarksThe executive director of Oregon's liquor regulatory agency announced his resignation Monday amid a criminal investigation into allegations that he and other senior officials used their positions to divert rare, sought-after bourbons for personal use.
Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum on Friday announced a criminal investigation into the allegations that senior officials in the state's alcohol and marijuana regulatory agency, which is the state's third-largest revenue generator, violated ethics laws. The officials purportedly had very limited bottles of top-shelf bourbon routed to a liquor store, often in the Portland suburb of Milwaukie where the commission headquarters is located, and would reserve them for pickup later. They said they used the whiskey for personal consumption or as gifts.
Marks has been the OLCC's executive director since 2013, and before that, he served as then-Gov. John Kitzhaber's chief of staff.
