Industry groups praised

plan, saying it would harm
America’s oceans, coastal
economies, public health and
marine life.
The Trump adminis-

90 percent of the nation’s
offshore reserves to develop-
ment by private companies.
It affects at least 22 coastal
states and has drawn bipar-
tisan opposition from 15
governors and support from
six governors. One is unde-
cided.
Most Democrats oppose
the plan. South Carolina Gov.
Henry McMaster has also
requested that his state be
withdrawn from the plan.

and more than $1.2 million
in cash in 2017.
Williams, through a
spokesman, declined a
request for an interview
with
the
EO/Pamplin
Capital Bureau.
But in his op-ed Williams
said that he wants to host a
summit among law enforce-
ment and other groups to
share information about the
state’s problems to “inform
our federal enforcement
strategy.”
Williams claims that
producers can sell mari-
juana illegally for more
money in other states, and
the profit incentive drives
more criminal activity in
Oregon.
“This lucrative supply
attracts cartels and other
criminal networks into
Oregon and in turn
brings money laundering,
violence, and environ-
mental
degradation,”
Williams wrote.
Williams also criticized
a lack of information from
the state, in particular an
incomplete report from
Oregon State Police on a
slew of marijuana-related
public safety topics.
A draft version of that
report obtained by The
Oregonian
in
March,
detailed significant prob-
lems with the state’s regu-
latory system, “leakage” of
Oregon marijuana into the
illicit market and diversion
of the product across state
lines.
OSP was adamant the
draft was incomplete. But
nearly a year later, it still
hasn’t been finished.
A spokesman for OSP
did not respond to an
inquiry regarding Williams’
comments.
Meanwhile, the OSP
analyst working on the
report has since left the
agency for the Oregon-
Idaho High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area, a program
that supports “collaborative
drug control efforts” among
law enforcement agencies
in the two states.
Chris
Gibson,
the
Oregon-Idaho
HIDTA
executive director, said that
he hoped the report would
be done by the end of 2018.

SALEM
—
U.S.
Attorney for Oregon Billy
Williams says he has
“significant
concerns”
about the state’s ability to
tamp down on illegal mari-
juana activity.
Williams, through an
op-ed in The Oregonian
Friday, offered a detailed
perspective on Oregon’s
marijuana landscape for
the first time since Attorney
General Jeff Sessions
rescinded Obama-era DOJ
policies on the drug last
week and gave local pros-
ecutors discretion to pursue
cases within the state-regu-
lated industry.
It’s not a favorable view:
Williams was blunt about
what he called Oregon’s
“massive marijuana over-
production problem.”
Sixteen states have
reported seizures of mari-
juana from Oregon, and
federal agents and port
police have seized more
than $1 million in cash
connected with marijuana
transactions
passing
through the Portland
airport in the last six
months, Williams said.
And postal agents seized
2,644 pounds of mari-
juana in outbound mail
