Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan is under fire since news broke on April 27 that she had been moonlighting as a cannabis industry consultant while her office was conducting an audit that proved favorable to that industry.

The audit results essentially call to loosen regulation of the cannabis industry and encourage the state to provide financial assistance to help it grow.
