🧵 On Feb 15th 1934, @OLCC opened their first liquor store, weeks after Prohibition ended. Oregon adopted prohibition early. By 1916 it was statewide, 3 years before national ratification. Like other states, we had our share of bootleggers, like the Remaley Gang.
ALT Paul Remaley, a record holding international motorcycle racer, was considered a “big shot” in the bootlegging racket in Oregon.
ALT With one prior federal offense of embezzlement and sentenced to two years in McNeil Island Federal Prison in Washington State, Albert Johnson served one year and nine months of his three year sentence in the Oregon State Penitentiary before being pardoned.

Many Oregonians lost vehicles or key auto paperwork in the #OregonFires2020.
If your vehicle was damaged or destroyed, you'll want to report it to the insurer as soon as possible.

Heavy smoke still blankets much of Oregon's highways, so the best thing you can do to stay safe, is avoid driving unless absolutely necessary. Remember to check conditions if you must head out. Many roads remain closed statewide. TripCheck.com or call 511 for updates.

We’re partnering with state agencies and local distilleries to make hand sanitizer to help healthcare professionals stay safe. bit.ly/3aZzW1v @NewDealPDX @oregonspirit @OHAOregon @OLCC

We want to take a minute and thank @FreelandSpirits. It's no secret that hand sanitizer is extremely hard to come by right now, but Freeland stepped up and made 500 gallons of it for us. They're not the only ones — @RoseCityDistilling has given us some too.
