Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan Resigns Amid Marijuana Industry Controversy.

Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan has resigned after it was revealed that she had taken a side job as a consultant for a cannabis company while her office was auditing the state's marijuana program. Fagan's resignation will take effect on May 8, and Deputy Secretary of State Cheryl Meyers will take over the job on a temporary basis. Fagan apologized for undermining the public's trust and said she took the side gig due to low pay. Governor Tina Kotek supported Fagan's resignation, saying it is essential that Oregonians have trust in their government.
