Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan is in hot water, with Republican lawmakers calling for her resignation and the Democratic governor seeking investigations because Fagan took a consulting job with a marijuana firm.
The audit called for the OLCC to"reform" some rules for marijuana businesses, saying they are"burdens" when combined with federal restrictions on interstate commerce, banking and taxation.
La Mota's co-owner has hosted fundraisers for top Democratic Oregon politicians, including Fagan, while the co-owner, her partner and their business allegedly owe $1.7 million in unpaid bills and more in state and federal taxes, Fagan didn't appear at the news conference, which included her spokesman, deputy and the audits director.
"This appears to be an ethics violation and if it isn't then Oregon's ethics laws are broken," Senate Republican leader Tim Knopp and House Republican leader Vikki Breese-Iverson said in a joint statement."It's critical that Oregonians trust their government," Kotek said in an emailed statement.
