Oregon's secretary of state apologized for taking a job as a consultant for a marijuana company, an industry her office just audited. She indicated she aims to stay in her role despite calls from Republicans to resign.
Fagan recused herself from the audit of Oregon’s marijuana regulatory agency because she is a paid consultant of an affiliate of marijuana retail chain La Mota, her spokesperson, Ben Morris, said at a virtual news conference timed with the audit’s release.
Bysiewicz spokesperson Samantha Taylor said in a statement that Fagan called about three weeks ago, asking about “Connecticut’s cannabis license process for a client Fagan had as part of her consulting business.” The governor underscored her own concerns as she called for the probes, saying: “It’s critical that Oregonians trust their government.”
She said her consultant job had nothing to do with her elected position. Reporters, though, were skeptical. They asked why she would be hired as a pot consultant unless La Mota wanted her to leverage her position to expand their business in other states, especially when there are numerous bona fide marijuana business experts in Oregon.
