Oregon state senators are pushing Gov. Tina Kotek (D-OR) to declare a state of emergency over a state measure that passed three years ago decriminalizing small amounts of illicit drugs.
State Senate Republicans are also asking Kotek to convene a special session to address the state’s drug crisis. State Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp confirmed the lawmakers have yet to hear back from to governor.
“Measure 110 has failed Oregonians and the overwhelming majority want change,” GOP state Sen. David Brock Smith said in a statement. “The decriminalization of drug possession, the lack of incarceration and forced 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 to arrest.”
