US Attorney Statement - District of Oregon
US Attorney Statement - District of OregonSessions appointed 17 interim US attorneys recently, none in GLH's operational areas. My guess, and it is only that, is that Sessions wants to rein in some of the "illegal" activity that is operating and proliferating in the states that have legalized it. From that point, this would be positive for companies like GLH that are operating legally. I'm digging deep for a silver lining but I think it does have a resonable arguement. Also think this move may push up the timeline/pressure for rescheduling which is really the crucial event.
