This is his plan to clean up the streets and give addicts help
Measure 110 Update
House Bill 4002, the proposal by Democratic leaders to “fix” Measure 110, is simply not enough on its own to solve the drug crisis. We need real accountability and rehabilitation for drug users.
That’s why I proposed a comprehensive plan last week to ensure House Bill 4002 has the teeth needed to get hard drug users the treatment they need. Penalties for drug traffickers are also critically important.
I remain committed to working with my colleagues every day to ensure we get the results Oregonians deserve. You can read my full press release on the comprehensive plan below.

Plan for Special Drug Misdemeanor, Statutory Overhaul of M110.pdf
Perhaps this will work; I noticed that there is a lot of noise about treatment – after all drug addiction is a medical problem. Locking up a person for addiction is ridiculous I certainly am for treatment. But is the addict? Usually not! But let me mention – The addicts may get treatment but the crime victim gets nothing. When the addict commits a crime – (not too much noise about the crime) the crime also needs to be addressed in the criminal justice system also.
Perhaps this plan will work, we have to get crime off the street.
