A few weeks ago the Oregon Supreme Court agreed with the Circuit Court and the Appeals Court that Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters was in violation of state law by refusing to issue CHL permits to legal medical marijuana users.
These three rulings did not deter Mike, who is still holding up permits for legal users, and is contemplating using even more county funds to appeal to the US Supreme Court. While I do not want to start a drug thread, I wish to point out that the sheriff took it upon himself to add questions to the application concerning drug use, and steadfastly refuses (at this time) to obey the Courts.
So our good Sheriff is both enforcer and legislator, but is not too strong on the obeying the law part, rather ironic considering he is the chief law enforcement officer of the county. What Mikey wants, Mikey gets, but if he dislikes the laws of the land, tough bubblegum.
