OREGON OBSERVATIONS 2 JUNE 2023

Democrat Rep Hoyle received campaign donations from cannabis entrepreneurs who applied for grant she oversaw. A $554,990 taxpayer-funded grant was awarded to ENDVR under Rep Val Hoyle’s leadership as the Oregon labor commissioner. How many out there voted for Val Hoyle to replace DeFazio? Well, here’s one of the reasons I didn’t, except, of course, that she’s a Democrat. Like most Democratic politicians (Biden, for example), her office work has had a checkered past, as can be seen from the linked article. Influence peddling is often tied to corruption, and while not specifically illegal in the United States, 11 other countries have made it illegal. If you’re a regular reader of these pages and you’ve been paying attention, you’re reminded that the events of this case are closely related to Fagen’s recent departure from her position as Secretary of State. She was moonlighting as a pot shop chain’s business consultant that her office audited for compliance with state regulations on cannabis businesses. Here we go again – Democrats elected another Democrat with unsavory workplace habits.
