Voters in the cities of Sisters and Culver rejected measures that would’ve allowed marijuana dispensaries in the city limits.

Now the Oregon Department of Transportation is working to remove some of those dead or dying trees as they pose a safety concern for drivers along Highway 20, west of Sisters.
