"Oregon Secretary of State Resigns Amid Controversy and Interim Replacement Named"

Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan frequently traveled out-of-state for lieutenant governor events and leadership training during the six months before she resigned this week, while mostly keeping her daily work schedule to seven hours or less, according to calendars released by her office. Fagan took five out-of-state trips in the last six months, her calendars show. She resigned due to the fast-developing scandal around her secret, high-paying side job researching how owners of troubled pot chain La Mota could expand their business to other states.
