Friends,
Despite what you have read in the press and on social media, as of this writing there is not yet a bipartisan deal for major reform of Ballot Measure 110. We are working hard on it, and I expect a deal soon.
I am grateful that the Democrat legislators have followed our lead, and are now listening to the majority of Oregonians that are demanding change. 74% of Oregonians want recriminalization. 77% of Oregonians want required treatment. Finally, the Democrat leadership appears willing to embrace proven, evidence-based approaches that protect public safety and get addicts the treatment they desperately need.
My goal is that together, we achieve a solution that will:
-
Recriminalize hard drugs to protect public safety and incentivize treatment.
-
Require treatment through diversion programs.
-
Reinvest in evidence-based treatment and recovery programs that are locally controlled.
-
Recovery as the overarching goal - anyone seeking treatment should have access.
Anything short of this would be an abject failure.
 
Yours truly,
 Representative Ed Diehl
