Lives are being lost. Streets are unsafe. It's time to fix Ballot Measure 110.

Yesterday, Max Williams sent a letter to Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson, DA Mike Schmidt, and Mayor Ted Wheeler, sharing concerns about the County's plan for the implementation of HB 4002. See the full text in the photos.
"Two commissioners told KOIN 6 News they don’t like what has been proposed: letting those caught with drugs not be required to participate in a deflection program. Instead, all they would have to do is check in at a drop-off center — but not have to go through a screening or a…
"The law encourages officers and district attorneys to refer drug users to 'deflection' programs that will keep arrests off their records. Convictions for drug possession will also be expunged after three years.
In other words, Oregon’s new rules maximize compassion, even as they…
Measure 110 failed because it was driven by ideology, not best practices, science, or common sense. Decriminalized drugs are a policy failure, not simply a bureaucratic failure to “implement.”

“Measure 110 is the gasoline that was thrown on a fire that was already burning out of control,” Washington County District Attorney Kevin Barton said.

“Oregonians are ready to turn the page on the failed experiment of Measure 110. We urge the Governor to sign HB 4002 and supportive funding without delay to immediately kick in tougher penalties against drug dealers and to give local officials the maximum time to plan and…
"That is why drug-treatment courts—a bipartisan model offering structured treatment with incentives—work. Drug-treatment courts bring in both the public-safety system and public-health system to hold people with substance use disorders accountable, something Measure 110 never…
"The bill’s passage crystallized the public’s mounting buyers’ remorse – documented in multiple polls – that has dogged Measure 110 since its early days.
