Oregon has always been a special place to me. Sadly, I no longer recognize it. What can we do?

Demand better outcomes and ethics from our elected officials. Identify when those outcomes and ethics are lacking and vote for candidates who appear able to deliver better.

What are the changes La Mota has sought to Oregon law? You well describe the timeline of the firings of two compromised people, but what actual revisions to the OLCC laws will be or have been made?

Good question. We don't know what changes will be made, yet. In general, La Mota's owners wanted OLCC to ease up on regulation of the cannabis industry. According to Willamette Week's Sophie Peel:

"Cazares emailed a list to Fagan three days before before Fagan emailed Memmott. List reads: “Heavy Handed Enforcement, Micro Management, Takes productive time from business, Due Process, Middle Management, Law Enforcement - Inspector training, Restructure the rules."

I find it interesting that the state of Oregon changed the word "control" to "cannibis" for the OLCC.

Democrat ethics are nothing if not for their anti-ethical maneuverings.
