Former Secretaries of State Call for Resignation Over Oregon Secretary's Private Consulting Contract

TL;DR Summary
Three former secretaries of state in Oregon are calling for the resignation of current Secretary of State Shemia Fagan over a $10,000-a-month private consulting contract she signed with the owners of a cannabis dispensary chain who were also major donors to her campaign. Fagan apologized for her poor judgment, but the former secretaries say the damage to voters' trust is irreparable. Fagan's delay in taking action and the fact that the cannabis chain has failed to meet its obligations to tax authorities and creditors have added to the controversy.
