Marion County is joining a growing number of Oregon counties calling for a repeal of Measure 110, which was approved by voters in 2020 and decriminalized small amounts of hard drugs in the state.
Marion County Commissioner Danielle Bethell said 11 other counties passed similar measures related to recalling M110. Service providers like Bridgeway Recovery Services in Salem say repealing is not the answer. They believe those spikes in crime and overdoses could also be a result of pandemic isolation and the fentanyl crisis.
"We gotta give the treatment arena and the social services arena a chance to catch up,” said Hancock. “The first quarter of this year, 2,777 Marion County residents received services."Marion County commissioners say they want to keep that funding, but believe decriminalization has put a stop to accountability.
