"Oregon's Cannabis Audit Under Scrutiny Amidst Fagan's Controversial Conduct"

An investigation conducted by the Oregon Department of Justice recommends that the state pull down an audit of the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) due to concerns of inappropriate influence by top campaign donors to former Secretary of State Shemia Fagan. The investigation found that while the audit itself may not have been corrupted, there were red flags regarding Fagan's conduct that were not adequately addressed. The report recommends removing the audit from the state website and reassessing its fairness and integrity, but the current Secretary of State has declined to do so and will conduct her own investigation.
