By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE Capital Bureau ald Morse, chairman of the Oregon Cannabis Business Council. Morse thinks the freeze means the agency will seek a cap on Oregon recreational marijuana licenses in the 2019 legislative session. A spokesman for the agency, Mark Pettinger, said that was up to the Legisla- ture to decide. “Well, that’s not our deci- sion,” Pettinger said. “And all we can do is provide the Legislature with facts and information.” The pause comes amid buzz that the state has pro- duced far more canna- bis than its residents can consume. U.S. Attorney for Ore- gon Billy Williams main- tains that much of the excess likely gets trafficked across state lines. But Pettinger says neither a recent audit of the state’s Cannabis Tracking System — which found vulnerabili- ties in the system that could allow illicit marijuana to fly 60s National Summary: Showers and thunderstorms will frequent areas from Maine to Georgia and Tennessee, as well as the northern Rockies and northern Plains today. Heat will build over the South Central states. Oregon stops new pot license applications to handle backlog SALEM — Oregon will temporarily stop accepting new applications for mar- ijuana licensees to resolve a backlog of outstanding applications and renewals. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission said Wednesday that it will pri- oritize applications received by June 15. The state will set aside applications received after June 15 until the backlog is cleared. Since April 2016, the commission has issued nearly 1,900 recreational marijuana licenses and nearly 29,000 worker per- mits. The number of appli- cations has greatly exceeded expectations. Under a law passed ear- lier this year, about 2,000 medical marijuana regis- trants are now required to register with the state’s can- nabis tracking system by July 1. The OLCC will be responsible for auditing and inspecting medical mari- juana registrants using that tracking system. People continue to steadily apply to get licensed to produce, sell or process recreational marijuana, and it now takes longer to get approved, the OLCC says. “In order to ensure that the OLCC is fulfilling its regulatory duties and pro- viding timely responses to businesses in the industry, we must focus on the current participants in the system and preserve for the Oregon Legislature its consideration of the necessity for further statutory controls on mar- ijuana licensing in 2019,” OLCC Director Steve Marks said in a prepared statement. Some believe there’s more than the backlog at play. “That’s code for, ‘We’re going to put caps on licenses,’” said Don- -0s already in the system and those who have already sub- mitted an application into the system for us to be able to maintain the integrity of the system,” Pettinger said. SALEM (AP) — The National Guard will hand out free water to residents who can’t drink tap water contaminated by an algae bloom in the Salem, Ore- gon, area, and state law enforcement authorities are looking into claims of price gouging after officials extended an emergency drinking water advisory. Gov. Kate Brown’s office said Thursday the water will be distributed to people at 10 locations in the state’s capital and Stayton because of tox- ins created by a bloom at Detroit Lake, a municipal reservoir. Officials had earlier warned young children and people with compromised immune systems against drinking tap water in the area. At a press conference Thursday, Salem city man- ager Steve Powers said the advisory would be kept in place at least through Sunday. “This is a living thing,” Powers said, referring to the algae that creates the toxins. “We’re not going to speculate as to whether it’s going to get better or get worse.” State law enforcement authorities are also looking into claims of price goug- ing on bottled water in the area, said Kristina Edmun- son, a spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Justice. Officials have received more than a dozen complaints so far and expect more as consum- ers become aware they can report the incidents. Alan Torga, of Salem, was one person who com- plained after he said employees at a supermar- ket asked his mother for $25 for a case of 36 bottles of water. “She picked up on it and called me,” Torga said, add- ing that he told his mother not to pay the price. Later, at another supermarket, she saw employees selling gal- lons of water for about $13, he added. “It’s really unfor- tunate that people are get- ting gouged like this.” Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.
