Gov. Tina Kotek learned Secretary of State Shemia Fagan had an outside marijuana consulting contract and had recused herself from an audit of the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission’s pot regulation system eight days before Fagan’s side job became public, the governor’s office said late Monday.
Kotek’s spokesperson said the governor and Fagan met on April 19 for their first official meeting to “discuss the legislative session and other topics unrelated to cannabis.”
