Use Your Voice to Help Repeal Measure 110

Joint Interim Committee On Addiction and Community Safety Response meets at 9:00 am today, Monday, December 4th

Public Hearing and Public Comment is set to begin at 11:00 am

M110

Hello Friends,

Many of you have been following my efforts to repeal Measure 110.

As I have stated before, "Measure 110 has failed Oregonians and the overwhelming majority want change. The decriminalization of drug possession, the lack of incarceration and required treatment has caused a dramatic increase in drug use and addiction, increased homelessness, open drug use in our communities and increases in overall property and other crimes. Measure 110 has ultimately compromised the safety of our residents by reducing the deterrent effect of law enforcement, taking away their ability for arrest.”

We must give law enforcement the tools necessary to protect lives and property. We must have the ability to stop the cycle of addiction and mandate treatment. Those treatment dollars need to be taken out of the hands of OHA and given to our elected County Commissioners. There, our counties can create the MOU's with the NGO's and other service providers, where achievable goals can be set and measured locally. 

Your voice is critically important!

Please use the links below to watch the committee hearing, to sign up to testify in person, over the phone or virtually, or to submit your written testimony. Written testimony will be open for submission over the next 24 hours. 

Thank you for your support on this critical issue to protect the health, life and safety of our residents and their communities.
